Saesha glanced at Dacey to view her reaction, "Why did you not inform us you were going?" She asked, her face passive, "As far as I am aware Belric said family could go, why sneak out? Did you not care that your brother might worry for you, or what your bethrothed would think had something serious happen to you?"
She thought Violet's way of informing them of the death of Edmure was very... odd. "Where are these rogue knights now?"

Violet sighed. She was extremely tired and wanted the comfort of her own bed. And a bath. She wanted a bath almost as much as she wanted a hot meal. She looked from Dacey to Saesha.
"Can we not discuss this in comfort? I'm so tired and hungry. Please. There is much to tell and I cannot tell it properly when I am still ahorse."

"You are tired and hungry... I would have thought you would want to get your injuries seen to by Maester Percival," Saesha replied, "we can discuss this where I wish to, seeing as you seem not at all concerned about your ailments, we may as well do it here, no?"
She did motion for a servant to help the lady down though, "Take lady violet's things to her room," she instructed one of them.

"I am Ser Malcolm Browncloak, at your servie, my lady," the knight replied to Dacey, offering a respectful bow of his head as he dismounted his destrier and offered a hand to help Violet off her own steed. To his credit, he did not let the annoyance show on his face that she had revealed more details about his compatriots than she likely needed to.
(+1 Observation)
He certainly seemed to believe that was his name. Dacey could see that the man had well-crafted an maintained plate, a fine saddle, an barding on his destrier. Altogether, his equipment was likely worth as much as Belric's. With his tousled hair and charming smile, he looked like a knight from song.
The guards raised Harrenhal's massive double portcullis an saw to Saesha's orders, beginning to take her saddlebags.

Violet blinked as she got down from the horse. She had been trying to put a brave face on her injuries.
"My lady, I would not be so bold as to insist on Maester Percival seeing to me outside my private chamber. I do want medical attention, of course I do. But I would also like a comfortable seat, a drink and a hot meal. And a bath. I cannot have all those things at once. I leave it to you to determine which is the most urgent, of course."
She laughed nervously. "I'll wager poor Ser Malcolm would like all these things too."

Dacey nodded to Ser Malcolm despite finding his response annoyingly vague.
Violet's words sent her yet another step closer to having a permanent frown etched on her face. She stepped forward for a closer inspection to see if her little sister had also cracked her head. Had she just... laughed? Dacey's gaze fell to Violet's mangled finger and she reached for her wrist to examine it. "How in the hells...?" she trailed off, at a loss. "How'd Edmure die?" she finally asked, not letting go of her hand.

"I am not offering for Maester Percival to come out here, it is cold, and I would not like to risk him in this weather," she looked at violet then glanced at Ser Malcolm, "Where are my manners? Please, both of you come inside of the gate. I would offer you food, dear sister, but I wager you find it difficult to eat with your finger almost bent off," she commented, looking down at violet's incredibly not hurting finger, which was nearly at a right angle.
"I think we should take a little trip to the maester first, get that all set, and then we can proceed with the luxuries, base needs must be met before desire, naturally. Ensure the gate is closed behind us, with these rogue knights around, we cannot be too careful."

Violet looked at Dacey. "Edmure was stabbed. I saw him die. There was blood everywhere. It was the worst thing I have ever seen." She spoke with feeling and looked for a moment as if she might throw up. Her eyes watered with threatening tears. She had been crying a lot on the journey home, not caring if Ser Malcolm saw her tears, and her eyes were red-rimmed and shadowed.
To Saesha she said "I begged Ser Malcolm to set the finger for me, but he was afraid to make it worse. And I could not do it myself. It's hard to remember a time when it did not hurt. I have had to manage with the pain."

"Were you captured?" asked Dacey, as this seemed to be the only logical explanation to such an injury. Either that, or she'd gotten trampled by a horse. She noticed the dried bloodstains on Violet's attire. "All this blood... it isn't yours, is it?" she asked, guiding her and Ser Malcolm through the gates before they were closed again at Saesha's orders.

"Some of it is mine," Violet said. "Some is Edmure's. He died in my arms. And yes, I was captured, before Ser Malcolm came to my rescue. He was like a hero in a song."

(Since Dave is going to be LOA until Friday, IC lets say he's currently on a hunting trip with Goodbrook so we can proceed without him for the time being.)

"Well, I shall take you to the Maester, would someone be so kind as to see to this brave knight" She asked, looking for any traces of blood on Ser Malcolm as she motioned for Violet to follow her inside.

Violet followed Saesha. "Thank you," she murmured. "When it happened, it hurt so much I almost fainted."

She noticed no blood, but Malcolm's armor and barding looked as if they were cleaned and polished regularly.

"I would actually like to go and retrieve the bodies of Edmure and the guards," Dacey told Saesha, and turned to Ser Malcolm. "Perhaps you could bring me there?" she inquired.
