"Thank you. Are you Joshua?" Aura looks at Joshua apraisingly. "Should I move?" She ask as she looks at the group her hand still clutching Amelia's.

"Yes, I'm Joshua. Pleasure to meet you." Joshua smiled. "And you should probably stay here a moment, until the nurse comes out."

Amelia nodded, glancing at the burns for the first time. The scent of ash and burnt hair filled her nostrils, but was easy to ignore. The wounds, however, weren't. She didn't say anything, as the nurse strolled in, and glanced around.
"Where's the burn victim?"

Aura nods. "Might you have an idea when that will be?" she asks quietly staring blankly at the wall.

"We'll, I believe it's now." Joshua smiled again, gesturing to the nurse. "She's right over here, madam."

The nurse gives Aura a once over. "hmm."
Aura gives her a squeamish look. "how bad is it?"

"Looks like a concussion dearie," said the buxom Nurse that had Robby's attention earlier, and apparently, again as he ogled her. Amelia scowled at her brother, before turning to Aura in worry. "And some bad burns. Let's get you inside and checked over."
The nurse glanced at the crowd surrounding her, and her brow furrowed, "Any of them family you'd like to come in with you?"
"Ah, no, my sister injured herself and we're waiting with her," said Robby, pointing to Amelia. The nurse took in Amelia's toe and said, "Well, she'll have to wait here while I sort this young miss out. Come along then dearie, unless you'd like someone to come with you?"

"um could Miss Farmer come with me?" she turns to Ameila. Aura stands but holds her hand to her head, wincing in pain.

"Of course she can," said the Nurse kindly, before glancing at Amelia's toe, "I'm afraid you're going to have to help her in, however. Can one of you boys lead her inside the room with me while I settle Miss Beckwin?"
Amelia nodded, happy to have been chosen. She liked Aura, and felt awful for what the woman had to go through. The Nurse extended an arm to Aura, to help her to her feet. Once Aura was up, the Nurse kept her arm on Aura as she lead her past the waiting room to the clinical area.

"Do you want me to help you in?" Joshua asked, making to stand. "I feel terrible for that poor girl!"

"Please," said Amelia, as Robby glared at the two.
Inside the clinic, the Nurse had settled a Aura on a bench as she moved to get some salves. Once Amelia was seated beside her, she rushed Joshua out, with a stern glare. Glancing at the girls, she sighed as she said, "Miss Beckwin, I need you to strip to your underthings. Do you require any insistence?"

Joshua laughed as he was forcefully ejected from the room. "She always was terrifying, that nurse!" He settled down in one of the chairs, and prepared himself for a long and probably awkward wait.

"I don't think so." Aura replies. She starts to undress slowly undress. After some time has passed she is down to her undergarments. She offers her left arm to the nurse, but turns to Amelia. "Thank you for coming with me." she tells her gratefully.

The Nurse hissed at the burns, and she immediately began to lather them in salve. Meanwhile, Amelia watched curiously. She'd heard tales of witches who could heal, and seeing Aura looking so hurt terrified her. She wished she could use her magic to heal, but the clumsy girl knew it was just a wish. Her brother was joining the witch hunters, and she had to go on the run soon to save herself. It was the only way.
Giving Aura a smile, she said, "It's no problem, just concentrate on getting better."
"Drink this," said the Nurse after placing a tonic before Aura. She moved to find a clean dress and some bandages.

Aura dranks the tonic, which tasted awful, and wondered out loud "I wonder how the house caught on fire?" she then stares as the wall with concentration. As if she was trying to remember something

Amelia leaned over and squeezed Aura's hand comfortingly, and said, "Don't worry about that now. Do you have anywhere to go after you're all fixed up? I mean- if your family didn't make it?"
Outside in the waiting room, the three boys sat in an awkward row, Robby sitting beside Rylan, on the opposite end to Joshua. It was extremely silent, and nobody said anything. Robby sighed as he asked, "Should we check on Aura's family?"

Aura shakes her head sadly. "I don't have any relatives. And we only recently moved into the manner so..." she pauses and looks down at her lap again. "When do you think I can change back into my dress?" she asks the nurse.

"As soon as you're all bandaged up dearie. How's the head?" said the Nurse sweetly, as she began to bandage some of the cuts the girl had. The burns were being wiped down with cool water to expel the heat. Glancing at Amelia, she said, "I'll bandage you up as well in a moment hon."
"That's awful! Have you any money? You should stay with us, Robby and myself. My sister in law, Vicky, she loves caring for people. We're farmers, but the house is large enough for an extra member," offered Amelia.
Outside Robby twiddled his thumbs, not getting up. However, he replied, "Let's wait for the girls. I have no clue where Aura even lives!"

"My head feels fine. I don't have any money on me at the moment and are you sure that's alright? I wouldn't want to impose." Aura tells her looking much more comfortable now that the nurse has seen to her. "thank you both for helping me."

Amelia nodded as the Nurse handed Aura a plain grey dress that looked as though it had seen better days. The Nurse moved to bandage Amelia's toe and set it right, while Amelia easily said, "It's no problem! Please, it would be my pleasure. And if you're around Robby and Vicky won't bother me as much. Vicky's the sister, she's crazy, and you'll like her. The twins are her sons, and they love guests. Please, feel free to join us!"
Outside, Robby sighed as he glanced to Rylan, "What are you thinking?"

"Thank you and they sound lovely." Aura says with a smile. She takes the dress from the nurse and be gins to dress. It takes her longer than it would normally, but eventually she gets the dress on. "Is she going to be alright?" she asks the nurse with concern as she glances at Amelia's toe.

"Of course," said Amelia, standing up shakily. Her toe was still out of commission, so she'd require aid walking, but overall, the Nurse said it would heal quickly.
"You'll need to take this tonic before bed," said the nurse, handing Aura a box of medecines, "And rub those salves on at night on the burns. They should fade, and only slight scarring will remain. A pity for a pretty young woman. As well, drink the second tonic if you feel any pain. I added a few spare bandages, but any linens will do. Try to avoid lying down and sleep for another hour or so until you're head feels better."

After placing Amelia down, Rylan had merely observed the going ons. The others were doing fine handling the situation, and Rylan was instead considering the options in case they had to go and do damage control.
When Robby came to speak Rylan replied, "Not much, though I do feel sorry for the poor girl. Heather used to be terrified of fire, so I can understand how terrifying it must have been. Perhaps we could go and see if anything is salvageable."

"I understand. How far away is your home?" Aura asks Ameila as she stand up. The gray dress is a bit big so it hangs slightly on her small frame.

"Not far, about fifteen minutes away," said Amelia with a nod, picking the box up for Aura. "Shall we?"
"I'll call your friends," said the Nurse, heading outside.
Before Robby could answer, the Nurse came back. The boy stood immediately as she said someone needed to help Amelia walk. He turned to Rylan, and said, "Escort her, please? I'll-
"Carry the box," said Amelia, hobbling out, knowing full well what Robby had been hoping to do. He had hoped to isolate Joshua again, and spend time with Aura. Not on Amelia's watch was that happening. "Joshua, can you help Aura? I think she's still dazed."

"Of course I will!" Joshua stood up, smiling reassuringly at Aura. "Do you need me to carry you or are you okay to walk?"

"oh, you don't have to do that, I should be fine." Aura tells the group smiling shyly. She takes a moment to really look at the group. Joshua seemed kind to her and Robert, while charming, was making her a little uncomfortable. She hoped per presences wasn't causing any trouble.
