In an earthborn hospital bed, Cutting Wind lay out cold having been sedated for her own good. Alongside her wings being cut off, the mare had been showing signs of severe exhaustion due to lack of sleep for who knew how long. She had outright fought being sedated at first, the only words that hospital staff could get out of her was that she had a message to deliver to Commander Lightning Dust. It was only once a nurse offered to write the message down and send it along that Cutting Wind had relented at all. 

As the nurse handed the resulting letter over to the proper messenger, the mare couldn't help but shiver at the possible future the letter promised as she started to walk home now that he shift was officially over. She could only hope that Commander Lighting Dust would do what was best for the house as a whole instead of letting her pride get in the way.

Torrential shrugged a little as he chuckled. "For what its worth, you're more knowledgeable about Sweeper's recent activities and where she might have gone than I would be. I'll have to swing by once she's come back at some point for some tea and and catch up with her. While I doubt that it would make the smile on her face any bigger without the usage of some serious magic, I feel it would make her day." Considering the idea of being a good brother to his more naive and random sister for a few moments, Torrential turned his attention to the mare walking beside him.

"If you don't mind me asking, how long will you be traveling with me before you have to head back? I merely ask because the current path I walk will leave Earthborn lands and take me to those that belong to Moon and Star. I would hate to recklessly endanger a beautiful and respectful mare under the best of circumstances, but even more so because Silver called dibs on you. She would be quite upset if you were harmed because of something related to me, I fancy."
