Alexa almost couldn't hear Veronika's voice with the sudden rushing sound in her ears. It took all she had just to simply stand still, and she barely noticed Veronika's hand on her elbow. Her body was starting to feel numb, and she very much doubted she could walk down the hill without fainting. Vaguely, she heard Veronika called for help to someone... Wait... Someone? There's someone else with them there?

Struggling to look up, Alexa thought she saw two blurry figures from the road, one looked like a human who approached them quickly. Wariness and hopeful relief rose in her. Wary that the person would mean them harm, but another part of her was hopeful that the person would help them. Trying to take a step forward, the last thing Alexa saw was the ground rushing to meet her before something caught her. Barely conscious, she thought that she smell something like... farm animals, and some sort of herbs or plants. A few moments later, she realized that someone was carrying her and walking fast along the road. Relieved that at least they got some help, Alexa slipped into unconsciousness.

The farmer looked up the hill curiously when he heard someone called out for help. He had to blink his eyes repeatedly and even rubbed them several times. What were those kids doing up there? And what in the world were they wearing? Curious and concerned, the farmer pulled his sacrificial cow around and smacked its behind so it started its way back home. It lives for another day for now, at least until he could get those two some help then he can continue taking his cow to the giants.

Making his way up to where the girls were, his eyes widened when he saw their conditions, especially the bloody one. "What in the Divines happened to you, lasses?" He asked, only to quickly moved forward in alarm and caught her as the girl slumped forward. Looking around, he saw the wolf corpse with multiple stab wounds and a curiously clean sword laying nearby. Lifting the wounded girl into his arms easily, he studied the other for a few seconds. He never saw the kind of materials these girls are wearing, and the long haired one almost look like she's dressed for party in Cyrodiil, not in the cold weather of Skyrim for sure.

"Come on." He finally urged the other girl as he started to make his way down the hill. "I'll get you both to someone who can help. Try to keep up with me, lass." The farmer moved as fast as he could towards the settlement. Of all the days he didn't bring any health potion, it has to be this kind of day.

Entering the settlement briskly and gaining attention from the folks, the farmer started calling out loudly and urgently. "Jouane! Jouane!! She needs help!" An elderly balding man wearing what looked like a nice thick clothes came out from one of the big houses and looking curiously for the one who called him. Upon seeing the bloody arm of the young girl in the farmer's arms, he became all business and waved the farmer, along with the other girl, in quickly. "Over here. Put her on that table." He told the farmer as he quickly gathered several linen clothes for bandages and bottles of potions with nimbleness that belied his years.

While the elderly man, Jouane, starting to work on cleaning and healing the unconscious lass, the farmer turned towards the other girl and asked gently. "What happened, lass? And why in the Nine Divines name did you both running around the wild with no protection?"
