Nessia was laid down on the empty cot before seeing Jace talking to a satyr. The satyr came and gave her some nectar and rewrapped her badnages. There wasn’t a lot of blood loss that she’d need a blood transfer. She looked at Jace in the corner and smiled a genuine smile at her. “Thanks really you’ve helped. If you ever wanna come to Artemis’ cabin your welcome to enter.” Nessia gave her approval to enter the sacred cabin before closing her eyes resting them. Only to see the goddessess face again in her mind. Her eyes snapped open before she tried to hide the fear in them from Jace. She asked the satyr nearby if they could sedate, wanting to sleep without the face staring her down. 

Jace returned the smile with a natural, bright smile of her own. “No problem. I’m glad you’re okay!” She commented. “And thank you. I appreciate it. You can come into the Zeus cabin any time you’d like.” She nodded at her and sighed. “I guess I should be going, now that you’re okay.” She smiled widely. “I’ll come check on you later, okay?” With that, she left the infirmary and went to her cabin.

Nessia felt the blood seeping through her bandages. The bandages were just supposed to help until they got to the infirmary. But now they were starting to reopen with ever step. She felt herself getting light-headed but fought to stay awake. “Maybe a few weeks. I went on the rescue quest about a week ago. I came back a week or two before that. So not long.” She felt her blood spilling out faster. “Can we hurry up?”  

“Ah, I see,” Jace said with another nod. She swallowed as she saw the blood seeping through the cloth. This wasn’t good.. She took a shallow breath. “alright, let’s hurry.” She quickened her step as they headed to the infirmary. She hated seeing people hurt and in pain. She let out a sigh of relief when they reached the infirmary. “Alright, we’re here.” She pushed through the door and lead Nessia to an empty cot in the back of the room. She quickly explained the situation to a satyr who just needed and went to go help the young huntress. Thank the gods she got her here before the bleeding gor worse. Jace just hanged in the background, watching, hoping she would be okay.

Nessia was surging with anger when Jace’s first question came. She may have helped her but she didn’t want this girl knowing what her supposed mother was doing. She was relieved when she asked how long she’d been in the hunters. The question yet simple caught her off guard. Not many people asked and she’d lost track some. She thought about one of the last memories she had before leaving the streets for the woods.

She thought hard and answered almost questioning her answer, “I’m not sure, maybe one or two decades. Somewhere between then.” She looked down feeling slightly miserable she missed out of because of joining the Hunt. She remembered that before the Hunt she wanted to get married and have kids, but now she would live with her sisters forever. She tried to change the subject from her to Jace when she felt the tension slowly rise. “So how long have you been at camp?” 

Jace nodded and replied, “Ahh, I see.” She felt this was a sensitive topic to Nessia, and she should probably divert the attention away from her toward another subject. She kept a  determined face as they made their way closer to the infirmary. Only many steps to go..She let out a sigh. “I’ve been here for almost a year,” She said and flashed one of her natural smiles. “And I’m guessing you just came? Seeing as I haven’t seen you around here? Weeks or days?”
