Status: Incomplete and private.
The sound of somebody crying out woke Uther, and when he woke he realised it was he who had cried out, in his sleep.
Confusion muffled his mind like gauze, but did nothing to mute the sucking pain of his body. Panicked, he struggled against it in the dark, trying to escape. Where was he? What had happened?
He had been in battle. He had been struck down, but the killing blow never came.
Because he had been rescued, because he had been born to his own camp, his wounds bound; he was fevering in his tent, upon a cot, clawing his way towards a stedfast figure at his bedside.
A stedfast figure..."Gorlois?" he asked hoarsely, peering into the darkness of what could not have been a tent around him.
How quickly the stranger had become familiar, even necessary, in this moment of fragility.
