late justinian through early solace | healing tents
[ Justice is dead, but he nearly took many others with them -- Merrill included. She's in a bad way for a few days, especially after; her cheekbone is broke, her ribs mostly intact but her internal organs badly bruised, along with various and sundry scrapes, cuts, bite marks, bruises, and burns.
Still, she's a decent patient. She stays put in the tents, at least, though they can't quite get her to stop talking when she's feeling well enough to sit up and do so. Visitors are allowed at the discretion of the healers, but Merrill isn't going to turn anyone (or anything) away. ]
early solace | around skyhold
[ When she's allowed to leave the healing tents, it's not full-time. They don't want her going down to the Warden camp to sleep, but she's allowed to wander Skyhold as long as she's careful. As a result, Merrill mostly relaxes -- visits with friends or with potential new friends, sits in the garden, watches the birds.
She likes to go visit the griffons, when she can, though she has to be careful. They're less good about watching for injuries. ]
early-mid solace | camp shady fucker
[ When she's allowed to move more, when she's more patched up between a combination of time and magic, Merrill gets to work. Sleeping in a tent isn't new, but the events at Weisshaupt have shaken her. If they need to get out, she wants to be able to move quickly.
She starts to gather supplies. Wood, mostly, but any who know much about the Dalish may recognize what begins to take shape or the plans that Merrill checks every once in a while: an aravel. ]
wildcard
[ you know what to do ]
around skyhold / healing tents area
[Well... not that he gets very far on his own, as he soon enough finds himself having to sit down or risk totally collapsing. He finds a spot to crash over by some tree. Uggggh. He's breathing heavily, still with a really sickly feeling overall alongside all the aches and pains. But he made it out here, that's what counts. Then he notices someone approaching the area. Please don't be a healer. He wants to stay out and enjoy some fresh air before they haul him back in again.]
Merrill?
[Oh, good, maybe it'll be ok. He's glad to see she's up and about, after the battle... he's pretty sure she'd been in a tent nearby for a while, too. The chattering was unmistakable.]
no subject
[ There's a wave, and while there are bandages wrapped around her torso and there's still a bruise on her cheek, she at least seems able to do that much without pain. She's slower than normal when it comes to approaching, but as Kain seems like he's about to pass out against the tree, she's hardly going to make him come to her.
She's even wearing shoes, but that's more because the healers are less likely to drag her back to the tents if she's wearing them as opposed to walking around in the cool mountain air with bare feet. ]
Oh, I'm glad you're up! [ Or, well. Sort of up. ]
no subject
I am. [More or less. He glances around furtively, just in case there's a stray healer around.] Somewhat. I was in desperate need of a change of scenery... Don't tell anyone.
How are you faring?
no subject
Oh, don't worry. I understand completely. And I know how healers can be when they think we're overexerting ourselves.
[ And then the healers tend to overexert themselves. Mostly with yelling. ]
Sore, mostly. They healed the worst parts with magic. And the rest... I mostly just have to pretend he never said anything, I suppose. [ Ugh. ] How are you?
no subject
[At least, from Kain's perspective anyway. He tends to want to do more things sooner than the healers recommend. He sighs.]
Glad to hear you're physically improving. Though mental wounds are unfortunately the worst kind. As for me... I'm... [He grimaces and looks to be in considerable pain as he tries to straighten up a little.] ...I'm... better than I was. I'm able to get much farther than I could a week or so ago. [Which isn't far at all, but still. It's progress to him.]
no subject
[ Healers stop getting in the way, rude. ]
Well, any improvement is better, right? There's always that much! [ Or. Something. ] You just have to keep getting better and they'll let you out of the tents in no time.
no subject
Better than nothing. [Ha, he will just ignore the fact that he had to stop here and can't manage to get back up to go further. He's sort of resting anyway, so he's doing what they want, just outside, right? Right.] But as long as they don't find out, I figure... I'll be fine. Just some fresh air and then I'll return. I don't know about you... but I get to missing the fresh air...
no subject
[ She supposes they could just ask to be allowed outside, but- well. They're also likely to be told "no". ]
no subject
[He physically couldn't, for quite a while, which had been very upsetting to Kain. So of course he'd gotten up and gone out the moment he was able.]
It's much nicer out here. Especially after all of the recent experiences...
[Going to the Fade, then coming back to battle a spirit... it's been an intense month or so.]
