They spent several days at the camp, after their fight against the bandits. Ewinda thought that the battle couldn't have gone any worse. Elentari was wounded and Vrain was blind. Hopefully it would be healed with time. Anyway, her own back was back to normal, something she was happy about.

So the next days went by, slowly. Everyone felt so bad for Vrain and Grain so most of the time was used to comfort them. But they also used the time to rest. Ewinda was curious about what would happen next. Was Vrain going to continue? He was blind, but she had heard that it could be healed. But how soon, she didn't know. Neither did the rest of the company. And then, Elentari was also still wounded, but she would recover very soon.

In the evening two days after the fight Ewinda and the dwarves were the only one sitting by the fireside.

"How are you two doing?" she asked in a low and almost wisphering voice. After she'd said it she knew how stupid it must have sounded.

"Well, it could have been worse, I guess......" Vrain answerd. Grain remained silent.

"You then, your back I mean?" Grain asked shortly.

"My back is just fine. I'm more worried about your sight Vrain. But I'm sure it will be healed by time." She said in a comforting voice.

"Selven said do too, you know, so there is nothing to worry about really." She added quickly.

"Maybe you are right"

"I know I'm right," Ewinda said while a smile rounded her face. The dwarves tried to smile back, but she could see that it was difficult for them both. She couldn't blame them either, after what they'd been through. It had to be hard.

"Well, I think I'm going to bed, so good night and sweet dreams." Ewinda said while she stood up and walked away from the burning fire and hopefully her troubled thoughts as well.
