“I have to- I have to send a letter to April—“ He wasn’t sure why he was telling Edonine this, but he did it anyways. “So she can come and—“

Edonine took his arm. "Breathe, Pierre.."

"I know," John gushed, peering over admiringly at his wife. "She is.. Stunning,"

Jane glanced over at the men and saw them looking in her direction. "I think they want us to come over again," she remarked to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth nodded. "Your dress looks amazing, I forgot to mention."
"Thank you," Jane replied shyly, and the women made their way back over the short distance.
Peter pulled Elizabeth to his side and smiled charmingly at her. She blushed and looked over at Jane.

Pierre took in a gulp of air, his fingers finding hers.

"I know," John gushed, peering over admiringly at his wife. "She is.. Stunning,"

Jane glanced over at the men and saw them looking in her direction. "I think they want us to come over again," she remarked to Elizabeth.

Peter pulled Elizabeth to his side and smiled charmingly at her. She blushed and looked over at Jane.

"Well, Peter, I hope Elizabeth treats you well," he teased candidly.

Pierre took in a gulp of air, his fingers finding hers.

Her face was hardened, but still sympathetic. "Cruz.. Cruz will be okay. Remember what you told me? We will be okay,"

"I know," John gushed, peering over admiringly at his wife. "She is.. Stunning,"

Jane glanced over at the men and saw them looking in her direction. "I think they want us to come over again," she remarked to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth nodded. "Your dress looks amazing, I forgot to mention."

Peter pulled Elizabeth to his side and smiled charmingly at her. She blushed and looked over at Jane.

"Well, Peter, I hope Elizabeth treats you well," he teased candidly.

"Ah, I couldn't ask for a lovelier woman," Peter replied, his eyes shining as he looked at Elizabeth. She looked back at him with the same level of love.

He could only nod numbly, rooted to the spot.

"Ah, I couldn't ask for a lovelier woman," Peter replied, his eyes shining as he looked at Elizabeth. She looked back at him with the same level of love.

"Well," John smiled widely, "I'm glad you found someone who can make you happy, Peter," he congratulated.

He could only nod numbly, rooted to the spot.

"Go letter April, now.." She let him go.

Pierre nodded and stumbled away into the confines of his bedroom.

Dear April,

His hand began to tremble, so he paused before continuing.

I am writing on behalf of your lover, Cruz, to ask that you come to [insert address] as soon as possible. He was taken prisoner by the British a few days ago and was found in the woods today, and it pains me to tell you that he will not be able to lay eyes on you when you arrive, because he has none left to see with. Please come quickly.

Sincerely, Pierre (a friend of Cruz)

Pierre could hear the Spaniard come to life in the other room– when the doctor tried to clean out the sockets, the man opened his mouth in a bloody scream, violently reared awake.

Pierre came running the moment the scream pierced the air. “Cruz?!”

"Well," John smiled widely, "I'm glad you found someone who can make you happy, Peter," he congratulated.

'And you as well, John," Peter replied with a wink.
Someone tapped Jane's shoulder, and she squealed happily. "Sarah!"
The beautiful strawberry-blonde grinned playfully. "Hullo, Jane!"

Pierre came running the moment the scream pierced the air. “Cruz?!”

The doctor had to hold the wild man down, til his feverish screams drowned back into unconsciousness.
"He'll.. He may be like this for a while," the doctor breathed. "He's still in shock,"

Pierre covered his mouth, but a muffled sob still escaped from between his fingers.

"Well," John smiled widely, "I'm glad you found someone who can make you happy, Peter," he congratulated.

'And you as well, John," Peter replied with a wink.
Someone tapped Jane's shoulder, and she squealed happily. "Sarah!"
The beautiful strawberry-blonde grinned playfully. "Hullo, Jane!"

John blinked. He'd not met Sarah before.

Pierre covered his mouth, but a muffled sob still escaped from between his fingers.

Edonine stayed far away, expression blank and her shoulders hunched.

"I've done what I can," the doctor exhaled. "Keep him in bed. If an infection settles, fetch me immediately," the doctor spoke.

"Yes, sir," Pierre said in a shaky voice, "Thank you."

Geoffrey looked over at them, in morbid silence.

"I'll get him into a bed.." Edonine murmured.

"I'll help," he told her, unable to look at anyone but Cruz.

"Well," John smiled widely, "I'm glad you found someone who can make you happy, Peter," he congratulated.

'And you as well, John," Peter replied with a wink.
Someone tapped Jane's shoulder, and she squealed happily. "Sarah!"
The beautiful strawberry-blonde grinned playfully. "Hullo, Jane!"

John blinked. He'd not met Sarah before.

"John, this is my friend, Sarah Davis," Jane introduced the girl. Her hair was braided and wrapped around her head like a crown. "Sarah, this is John, my new husband."
"How do you do?" Sarah asked, beaming at John and extending her hand.

"Ah, rather tired," he admitted quietly, taking her hand and just bowing his head, instead of kissing it like normal.

"I'll help," he told her, unable to look at anyone but Cruz.

She shuffled forward as the doctor left, and began to.. Try, at least, to pick up the full grown man.

Pierre helped her carry his best friend, laying him down on the bed. "I should probably send that…" he murmured, gesturing to the letter. "And I'll write to the General."

"Yes," she whispered, staring at the blinded man.

"Ah, rather tired," he admitted quietly, taking her hand and just bowing his head, instead of kissing it like normal.

Sarah wrinkled her nose in confusion, then giggled. "Such a gentleman…" She'd been going for a handshake, but oh well!
Jane smiled. "So how are you, Sarah?"
"I've been doing well. Brothers are all fighting, so having a peaceful house is a bit nice," she laughed.

"I–" Pierre cut himself off and turned abruptly away. "Yeah. I'll do that now."

John shuffled awkwardly; his introvert self was starting to crave the solidarity of home.

"I–" Pierre cut himself off and turned abruptly away. "Yeah. I'll do that now."

Edonine looked down.
