Amelie awoke early the next day, immediately rising out of bed to get dressed. As she pulled on a thick jumper, she couldn't help but think about her charge in the old barn. She'd had to leave him there, with a flask of water and a piece of bread. She hadn't dared to try to help him drink, as she'd been afraid of him choking in his unconsciousness. In any case, it was his leg, not his arm or neck. He would be able to feed himself if the pain didn't overtake his senses first. They didn't have any painkillers on the farm; if needed, they got them from their doctor. 

She proceeded to milk their two last cows, the milk frothy and creamy. Her grandfather would process it later, into cream and milk, either for cheese or their own consumption. Then she checked their small hen coop for eggs, before heading back to the house. Her grandparents were only just awaking, her grandmother making tea and her grandfather suiting himself up for the long day ahead. The few animals they had left needed tending, and the buildings needed maintenance as well. 

Amelie chatted animatedly as her grandmother made breakfast - a filling meal of oats with fresh milk and sugar and an egg. She ate as normally as possible, albeit a little quicker than normal and left behind the egg. She wanted to see how her German was doing. Once her grandparents had disappeared off to attend to their own duties, she once again took some food for him - a small chunk of bread, an apple from their tree, and the egg she hadn't eaten. Then she proceeded out to the barn, to feed Pierre and saddle him. She lead him out of the stable with a saddlebag holding the food, and swung up onto his huge, broad back. With a short farewell and a mention of a ride to her guardians, she cantered off down the path.

The brunette reached the barn quickly, and swiftly dismounted her calm steed. He whickered softly as she took the food out of his bags, and tied him to a post outside where he could graze. She walked inside with her heart in her mouth, hoping that he'd survived the night - and that he wouldn't attack her.
