"Y-yes sir." Silly whispered. So did Ame, when the man crouched to look in her eyes.
Aery gasped as the liquid entered her mouth, choked on it, but managed to get a few swallows in. It was very bitter... Felt like heat was building up in her body. Heat, burning, again. Why so much burning?
Still, this burning was the opposite of the previous burning, as she felt the pain starting to ease. The scars would still be there once the medicine had taken it's full course, but none of the pain, none of the infection. She'd still probably be very weak, but... Not dying anymore.
"I-I were originally from Fenharrow, yessir." Silly said. "On'y, my parents was murdered an' my uncles turned me out into th' streets. I met Tazz at one o' the carnivals there. He were tryin' t' steal from a rich man, an' I distracted the man so tha' he coul' get the coin, an' he gave me some o' the bread he bought, an it were love at first sight. He an' I ran away t' Adarlan after an' gathered up a fam'ly o' other urchins." Tears trickled down her face again. "I didn' mean to say all tha', I donno why I did."
"I don't know where I'm from. All I remember are the streets and some older kids who were really mean to me. They'd beat me, and I'd try to run away, but they'd always find me. I hit one of them once, and they cut me up, just like these people did to Aery just now, and left me in the street muck to die. Silly and Tazz found me and took me in."
