Rylan was intrigued be the other boy, judging by their behavior, he figured it was the boy he was to be competing with for Amelia's affections. However, he couldn't get a word in and opted for instead watching. When Robby spoke to Rylan, he turned to reply. "Probably should go on to meet Amy first, can't have that lad beating us to it, can we?"

Robby was practically jumping at the idea. He couldn't wait, though he frowned a bit at Rylan's last words. "You don't think he headed to her, do you?!" He asked angrily, as the two began working their way to Amy.

Rylan shrugged, "Absolutely no idea. Though I'd be willing to bet he's been listening in on us for a few minutes there."

"That bastard! Now he has an advantage! Damn, let's hurry home!" Yells Robby, so loudly people turned to stare. As they ran, he turned to Rylan, "I got faith in you, mate! Make me proud!"

Joshua rode into the village, dismounting and running towards the house where he knew the nurse lived. Luckily, there only seemed to be one person waiting, so he was able to convince her to see Amelia before his next patient.

When Amelia spoke of the weather, Rylan glanced toward the sky and nodded, as their were few clouds and the sun was bright. "Indeed, This year is proving to be a good harvest." He vaguely noticed that Amelia had gripped his shirt, and in response he held his arms a bit stiffer so that they would not move as much.

"Yes, the h-harvest will be lovely. Robby swore he'd help Kent and Johnny this year. But then, last year he did the same and never returned after he was told to deliver the pig to the butcher. I think he was horribly depressed over having to give away Dolly, but then, I was too. She was such a sweet pig, but she couldn't have piglets anymore. Though, it's more likely Robby just ran off to play," babbled Amelia, trying to concentrate on something else than the growing pain in her toe and the embarrassment as they walked. "You have to help I suppose, with no brothers. I've never harvested- it's hard work isn't it?"
---------
Robby arrived just after Joshua, and had taken a seat on the side while Joshua spoke. Lazily he tossed a coin, flipping it as he waited for Rylan and Amy. He wondered how well his scheme was working, and grinned to himself. His eyes travelled around the little clinic, and he admired the pretty woman nurse. She was probably elder to him, and looked plump. She'd probably had a child, but she wasn't that old. Maybe Vicky's age. That wasn't too had, and she was pretty. A nice lady perhaps to get to know more. The idea made him grin, especially when he pictured Rylan and Amelia's obvious disapproval of him courting a married woman. Especially since he had no intention of love. The situation would be funny, and he'd be have courted a married woman.

Joshua smiled one more time at the woman, before turning and reluctantly sitting next to Robby. He hoped that Amelia and Rylan would get there soon... he really didnt fancy sitting awkwardly with Robby any longer than he had to.

Rylan listened as he walked along, ignoring the occasional person who would glance their way. He remembered Dolly- Robby had been a bit upset when she'd had to go. "Well, it's not the easiest thing to do. But my sisters do help a bit- mostly by caring for the family garden by themselves and freeing me from having to do it as well. Father helps when he can, but he's getting older, so I do most of the farm work."

"That must be tiring! So- how are you, I mean, if I may ask- Well, how can you become a Witch Hunter as well?" asked Amelia, timidly as she turned red, wondering if that was too personal a question to ask in this situation.
-----
Robby grimaced as he stretched out his legs and glanced at Joshua. He'd almost forgotten the twerp was here. He glanced mournfully to the door, hoping Rylan would bring Amelia soon, as the nurse lady got busy with the patient ahead. He could wait a few minutes.
"So, why are you hanging around my sister anyways? She's not some noble lily that would enhance your social standing," said Robby quietly to Joshua, a bit of venom in his voice, daring Joshua to answer incorrectly.

Joshua groaned. "You know, it must be boring being so suspicious. Me and Amelia are good friends, and I don't have any untoward ideas about her. Is that acceptable?"

Rylan considered the question, thinking back to what Robby had said to him before. "Well, obviously my family wouldn't be able to keep as big of a farm as they do now, but they could always hire a few lads, my sisters could easily care for the crops, and my dad could take care of the animals- if he got rid of a few and hired help. If they need anything else, I'm sure some folks around would lend a hand... Besides, Witch Hunter make enough money for me to keep my family afloat." He decided to leave out Robby's assurance that his and Amelia's two brothers would help out, as he didn't seem it proper to assume such without their approval.

"Friends, and that's all? Are you sure about that?" asked Robby with a glare.
-----
Amelia nodded, though she felt she was missing something. Rylan seemed too responsible to have made that decision based on those things alone. However, as they drew nearer to the village, and she caught site of the small doctor's hut, she decided to let the topic go.
"Looks like we're almost there, it's smaller than I thought," she mused.

"Yes." Joshua sighed. "I understand that you don't trust me, and I understand that you think I have some sort of ulterior motive. But Amelia is a great friend to me, and I assure you that I always have her best interest at heart."
He turned expectantly towards the doors as he heard the sounds of people approaching the doctors hut.

Rylan looked up from her, as he had been waiting for a respone, and saw the doctor hut. He nodded in reply and went slowly toward the door, shifting Amelia's weight slowly to move his hand to knock.

Robby glowered, until he heard the knocking on the door. Quickly, he leaped up to get it, and to his relief, it was Rylan and his sister. He didn't trust Joshua a bit, and the kid seemed cocky. As if he knew how to care for Amelia correctly. He knew nothing about Joshua besides that he was a noble, and nobles weren't trustworthy. Plus they taxed you!
Amelia glanced at her brother, who looked relieved to see her and Rylan, and dryly asked, "Having fun?"
"Shut up and get inside, the nurse will be out in a second. It pays to have a noble around, they have some clout after all with us common folk," said Robby, making airy gestures and walking foolishly instead, prancing a bit to add emphasis to his mockery. Amelia glared, knowing he was purposely doing so to annoy Joshua.

Joshua rolled his eyes at Amelia while Robby frolicked around the room. He knew that Robby was trying to bother him, and he would not allow him to do so.
"I think she's coming." he said, glancing at the door leading through to the nurse. He very dearly wanted to ask Robby whether he should be getting back to his livestock, but refrained himself with a tiny smile.

"Play nice," Rylan teased under his breath, so that Amelia and Robby could hear, but not Joshua. As he spoke, and slowly entered the room, making sure to keep Amelia's feet from hitting the door frame. Then he stood awkwardly under her weight, unsure whether he should set her down in here, or wait for the nurse.

Just then a young woman stumbles into the clinic. She is wearing a dark blue dress, but the left sleeve is partially brunt. She has a glazed look about her green eyes and smells of burnt hair.

Robby scowled at Rylan, but stopped prancing about foolishly as he had been before. Instead, he leaned against the wall, his curly hair falling around his eyes as he waited for the nurse. Amelia was gently asking Rylan to let her sit down, feeling awkward to be in Rylan's arms longer, which Robby was dismissing as maidenly shyness. An awkward silence filled the air, until the young woman tumbled into the clinic. Robby immediately jumped first, while Amelia gasped at seeing her. She looked as though she'd been in a fire.
"Are you alright, fair lady?" asked Robby gently, approaching the woman first and cautiously glancing back at his friend and sister for help.
Amelia, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes at her brother. The woman looked as though she'd just been through some kind of trauma and he was turning on the charm for her? She rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms as she asked, "Is there a fire somewhere?"

Aura turns to Ameila shakily "There was..." she starts, but began to cough. "My apologies. I am Aura Beckwin." Aura movies to find the nears chair and sits down to catch her breath.

Joshua looked on in concern. "I'm going to go tell the doctor there's an emergency, okay?"

Robby hovered by Aura, as he glanced over as Joshua, nodding at his interference. Instead, he approached the blonde with a concerned look and asked, "Where is it? I mean- Do you need any help? What happened?"

"I am still not sure. One moment everything is fine, the next someone was shouting FIRE. I tried to out of the house, but the flames. They came so quickly. Next thing I knew the whole room was ablaze. I don't know how I got out." Aura finishes. "might I ask who you are?" She looks at Robby with uncertainty.

Robby nodded in response, listening to the story. He turned to the rest and began to introduce everyone. "My name is Robert Farmer, that's my sister Amelia over there. My friend Rylan, and some noble. He's the one who went to get the nurse. Do you know where the fire was? I can take Rylan and the noble and get it checked out."
"The noble is named Joshua," said Amelia icily to her brother, before giving Aura a soft glance, and taking her hand. She was sitting beside the woman, and she felt sorry for what she'd been through, "I'm Amelia, as he said. Joshua's my friend. How are you feeling? That must have been awful to go through!"

Joshua walked back into the room just in time to hear Amelia snap at her brother. He waited for her to finish, and then cleared his throat.
"The nurse says she'll be out in just a minute, so there's no need to worry." He smiled reassuringly.

Aura squeezes Ameila's hand. "To answer you questions, the fire...was at my family home. As to how I am feeling, my left arm hurts some and *cough* it was." Aura looks down at her lap. "as for any help you might give, I fear you are too late." she whispers as tears fall down her cheeks.

"Oh that sounds awful!" said Amelia, horrified as she listened to the woman. She threw Joshua a worried look, before nervously asking, "Was your family alright?"

"I honestly don't know. I never... I didn't see anyone leave. I just kept running until I found myself here." She looks around the room "where am I?"

"The nurse lives here." Joshua said. "You look like you need treatment, for that arm if nothing else."
