An old man crossing the stream. Keeping a promise.
Oh— ah, perfect timing..!
Sophia, would you mind helping Vero back to her bed? Our surprise guest needs the guest bed and I don't want to leave either alone for long.
(He turned to the man.)
If you're okay with it, I can help you there now.

*Is he willing to stay here while I take Vero back to bed? She's under the weather and needs rest. Afterwards, I can bring him to our guest bedroom.*
She should be back any moment, sweetheart, I'm fairly certain.
Sir, I can help you to our guest bed if you'd prefer?

No more doctor, okay? We can treat your injury here, it seems. Are you okay?
I'm not sure what language you've been speaking, but it's typically not English. It sounds familiar, though...

(He glanced at her, worried, before smiling gently.)
You've been doing amazing, keeping him company and comforting him, mijn sterrenkind. Thank you for your help.
(The doctor spoke to Simon for a moment before leaving. He turned to the stranger.)

*God... I thought something bad had happened...*
(The doctor pulled back quickly and apologized.)
I-it seems there's some damage... but nothing serious. A cracked rib, perhaps...
*He's not being harmed intentionally, please, relax. Now we can treat him.*

It's best if you don't yell.
*Descole, it's Simon! How on earth are you here? What—*
(He stops and pales slightly.)
*... what happened to Hershel..?*
(The doctor presses gently against the stranger's torso, searching for fractures.)

You're very sweet, Vero.
(The doctor moves in, quietly examining the man's eyes discreetly before moving on to check for any injuries.
Simon, however, shivers at the new voice in his head - then stills at the familiarity.)

I'm sorry, my friend, they need to check your eyes to ensure you haven't gotten a concussion. Can we at least lift it?

Vero, feel free to go back to sleep, I've got it handled.
(He explained to the doctor the situation as best he could, then turned to Marshall.)
We need to take your veil off so they can check you over, okay?

Shit, I don't know if he needs to stay awake—
(A sharp knock on the front door interrupted him, and he hurried over, letting in the doctor.)

No no no, stay, please, I've got her..! She's okay.
(He put a hand out as he stood to keep the man from leaving the wheelchair.)
I appreciate the concern but I've got it handled. You're badly hurt, my friend.
(He made his way over and helped Vero to her feet.)

(He pulled the disinfectant away and released his hand, not eager to aggitate the cut further.)
Sorry..! I should've warned you it would sting. There's only so much cleaning you can do painlessly...
(He offered his hand again.)
Whenever you're ready...

If it needs stitches, we'll leave that to the professional, but that should help for now.

Thank you, I'll be careful.
(Using a pair of tweezers, he moved the pendant into a small gauze pad to clean the blood off, leaving the chain in his fingers.
He carefully dabbed the remaining blood up and disinfected the cut before placing a gauze pad into his palm.)

Either I clean it now or the doctor cleans it when they arrive. Please, I don't want it to get worse or get infected.
