The one thing she insists on as she’s carried out of the dungeons: shackle me or kill me. She’s barely coherent but she keeps insisting, keeps repeating it over and over with a feverish kind of insistence until her wrists are shackled.
Considering the recent sword to the gut and daggers to the thigh and everything else that has happened, she isn’t exactly mobile, limited to lying in the back of the wagon with wounds that magic can’t heal but that it can help along, skin too pale and cheeks hollow.
Ruby Lucas is a shaking mess, when she’s Ruby of the Curse; a lost girl who doesn’t know what’s happening but knows she’s hurting and hugs her arms around herself protectively, fingers curling into the scarlet cloak that tumbles from her shoulders and pulls up the hood protectively. When she’s Red of before the Curse it’s a little better, though both tense at the sight of magic, at least Red can be persuaded to cooperate. It’s the times when she remembers life after the Curse and life in Thedas that might be worst, because in those moments she is lucid enough to piece together what it was she had done.
The first time she realised (remembered?) she threw up over the side of the wagon and didn’t want to be touched. The second time she almost stopped breathing with the horror welling up in her chest. Maybe more rememberings can happen.
She starts to be conscious more often than not, but just how coherent she is remains quite another matter.
Immediately they arrive at Skyhold, Ruby insists that she go to the dungeons.
( ooc: if you’d like to specifically deal with Curse!Ruby or pre-Curse!Red or regular FR Ruby, let me know in the subject or something. Any point in the timeline is good, feel free to wildcard, she just won’t be very mobile at any point. )
