She nodded, darting back inside before coming back out in her cloak which completely hid her features, and her bow and quivel over her shoulder. Elara let out a two note whistle, Varys barreling out of the treeline moments later. The woman looked back at Sage, nodding once before silently slipping into the woods. |

Sage watched as she moved to slip into the woods, calling out a quiet "be careful," to her as she left. It was dangerous, but they did need the help. |
|  |
|

Elara made her way to town silently, Varys creating a small bubble around them as she walked into the market and started calling out for a doctor or something to do with medicine. One man eventually came up, charming, yet his ego spoke too much. She traded a sack of coins for the medicine, heading to go get some more advice on what to do. |

Sage stayed huddled outside the cabin as the sun came up, sort of slumping on the grass with the blanket around him. He didn't have the energy to go back inside now, so he did his best to rest in-between coughing fits. |

"I could help you, princess." A familiar voice murmured, Elara freezing in her tracks as she paled and turned to see him. There, standing with the same smug expression she rememberd, stripped of his armor after he lost his duties, was Dorian. Ex-lover, ex-friend, and more than ever, a mortal enemy she would like to avoid at all costs. |

Eventually, sage did pass out where he was curled up in a ball on the ground. It was feverish, and fitful, but it was sleep. Of course, it was probably because his body was too exhausted to do anything else, but still. It was sleep. |

"D-Dorian, uhm, fancy seeing you...here.." She stammered, turning to leave before he grabbed her shoulder and turned her back to him. "Hey, I wasn't done." The man said bitterly, Elara pushing his hand off her. "You said you knew advice, now tell it." Dorian just chuckled, nodding. "And I know you're identity, I could just say it." Elara went quiet for a moment, tears stinging at her eyes before she blinked them away. "Go ahead, nobody will care. They never did, anyways..." She murmured, slipping away and back to where he wouldn't be able to find her as she found some actual advice and more powerful medicine, heading back to camp as Varys followed. |

Sage was woken when he heard Liz calling him, and found some power in himself to push himself up and open his eyes, offering the girl a small smile. "Hey baby," he hummed quietly. She quickly scampered off to go play in the dirt, and he leaned against the wall of the cabin with an exhausted sigh. |
| |
|
| |
|
Elara came back, gaze somewhat hollow and more tired looking. She handed Sage the medicine which he should take then, grabbing the rest silently and heading to go put it up as even Varys watched her. |
| |
|
| |
|
Sage had barely noticed when elara came back, but when he was have the medicine he opened his eyes blearily and attempted to take a dose. "You ok," he rasped when she seemed distant. |
