She gasped at the mention of Joseph's death, her expression growing hard as she sensed his panic. She nodded solemnly and as he stopped and lowered her to the ground she gripped his arm firmly to hold her weak knees up for a few moments. When she found some balance, she groaned and let go of him. She bit her lip, as she sucked up the pain from her waist. She then turned to him, "I'm fine now, there is a cave a few miles northwest from here, that might give us a place to..ugh..make a plan." She breathed out slowly placing her hand around her corset. She didn't wait for a confirmation knowing she was either going to have to rest or move before the pain really got to her. She grit her teeth then began to run.
