With the captain acknowledging Tyaethe's suitability as a bodyguard and the injured being tended to, Tyaethe sheathed the sword on her back and looked around for the bisected knight. Whilst the injured needed a lecture on how it was ridiculous to get yourself hurt in a fight against common bandits, and some lessons to drive the point home, it was obviously the wrong time to address them. Instead, gather up the dead--though anyone [i]dying[/i] in this fight was even more unreasonable in the paladin's mind--and start the journey home.

Fortunately, nobody had trodden over the body in the rush to get to Jeremiah and the undead was able to identify the man. A veteran of the War of the Red Flag, he should have been a more than capable guard for the captain in her temporary absence--'should' being the key word. A surprise attack from an enormous sword was capable of felling almost any foe, and she should know. "Enjoy your rest in the Twin Palaces, my friend."

Now carrying the man--both halves--she waited for the doctor to be finished with his work, or for someone else to come along so they could fetch the shield. Best to connect the two parts before checking if one of the magic users could preserve the dead before heir burial.
