Off to pack, then. (And tell Bran and Merrin what's up.)

Upstairs, a wounded man in a bed stirs.

Permalink

"Dad?"

Permalink

"Liland?"

Tam's voice is weak and wavery.

Permalink

"I'm here - you protected me, we're in the village."

Liland turns a bit. "Mat - get the Wisdom."

Permalink

"Be right back."

Permalink

Then he turns back to his dad and takes his hand. "Try to stay awake until the Wisdom gets here, 'kay dad?"

Permalink

"Aye, lad."

Permalink

Squeeze.

Liland's - going to wait for the Wisdom to check on his dad, before he brings up - anything the Aes Sedai said, really.

The Wisdom brings a bowl of soup up with her. After checking Tam over, she instructs Liland to see Tam drinks it all before falling asleep again and warns him against overstressing him.

Permalink

"Yes, ma'am."

Permalink

She nods, and leaves the room again.

He makes sure his dad gets at least some soup in him, then - 

"That foreign woman - she's an Aes Sedai," he says, quietly. "She saved the village, apparently. Healed you."

Permalink

"Ahh. Be careful, Liland." He takes a deep breath. "The truth they're telling isn't always the truth you're hearing."

Permalink

"Yeah, I've been figuring that."

Permalink

"So. What does she want, then?"

Permalink

"For me - and Mat and Kat - to leave with her."

"She thinks the Trollocs are after us."

Permalink

"Ahhhh. That- No reason for them to be here."

Permalink

 

 

 

"I - I think I did something, during the attack."

Permalink

"Something? Like what?"

Permalink

 

 

"I wanted the Trollocs to fight each other. They - did. The way I'd been thinking."

Permalink

"Lad... Trollocs are beasts. It doesn't take much for them to fight amongst themselves."

Permalink

"No, you - it's not that."

"The exact things I was thinking happened, it's - "

Did he feel weird? His memories are - jumbled, especially of sensory stuff. 

"And she's looking for the Dragon," he says then, voice suddenly low. 

Permalink

"Liland..." Tam makes an abortive attempt to reach up to him, then just pats the bedside instead.

Permalink

He kneels by the bedside, resting his head near Tam's hand.
