He walked over to the stairs and turned to face me.
"I'm just going up on deck to get some dressings, I'll be back in a minute." And he left.
I slowly and painfully pulled myself up into a sitting position.
I had cuts on my arms and face, but the most painful was the deep bloody gash on my left leg. I swear, you can see the bone. But, it's no fun unless you get a scar out of it.
"No TUFFN-"I heard the commander yell on the deck before a laughing Tuffnut came below deck holding the Commander's prosthetic.
"O hey Astrid. - wait, ASTRID?!?" he cupped his hand around his mouth and yelled: "Astrid's awake everybody!"
"YAY!" I heard from above. The gang rushed in followed by the Commander.
"Astrid, My princess, I was so worr-"he was cut off by my fist to his face.
I looked at the Commander, he had placed the biggest box full of dressings and medicinal herbs I had ever seen , on the floor. Gothi didn't even have that much.
" um Tuff, can I please have my leg back?" The commander asked, looking annoyed.
" On one condition, answer my question"
" Fine "
" *ahem* CANABROTHERGETALEGUPINHISFACE?" * REFERENCE FROM RTTE SEASON 6
'DARKEST NIGHT.'
The Commander looked puzzled for a moment. "No Tuffnut, I cannot." And snatched the leg back.
* REFERENCE FROM RTTE SEASON 6, 'DARKEST NIGHT.'*
"But, technically, you can't- but, if he took it of- or if he's flexi- ugh! " Tuffnut muttered.
Inga moved to the front of the mob and screamed:
"Aunty Astwid iz ohkaaayyyyy!" and she danced around the room.
"Aunty?" the Commander Questioned.
"She just calls me her aunty. Once you get a nickname from Inga Ingerman, you're that for life"
"That means my permanent name is Mander." He whispered when everyone had gone up to the deck
"Mander?!? Oh, that's funny."
"Well-"
"Can't think of a comeback can you?!"
"I mean I can, but-"
"Admit it, you can't."
"It's that obvious?"
"Yeah, you are a horrible liar."
"Now-"he lifted the box closer to me. "Dagur really is good with a –well-um-dagger."
He took a cloth from the box and dipped it in the jug of water above my head.
"Try and get as much blood off with that." He handed it to me.
It hurt like heck, but I did it anyway. Once I got off as much as I could I dropped the cloth on the ground.
I looked over to what the Commander was doing. He was picking through bunches of leaves.
"Leaves?" I said.
"Leaves" he replied.
"These are Forthis leaves," he said, holding up a red, green and yellow leaf. "You take the dry ones, crush them and add water. It's really good for wounds, and trust me, I should know."
We spent a couple of minutes finding, crushing and making the remedy out of the dry, dark green leaves. He took a fresh cloth and tore off a small piece. He put it on my bleeding wrist and bound it with a strip of fabric, he repeated this for most of the cuts.
"Have I missed anything?" He said.
Commander P.O.V
"Yeah, look." She pointed at her leg. I silent cringed. On her left shin, there was a deep and bloody cut, the worst of them all by far. You could see the bone.
"Forthis isn't going to fix that." I said leaning closer to her leg.
"Can you fix it?"
"There is one way, but it isn't the nicest." I winced. "Stitching it."
"That isn't too bad..." she said lifting one eyebrow.
"Have you ever stitched yourself?"
"No "
"I have." I shuddered at the thought. "Very painful."
Her brows knitted together. She was considering it.
"That's fine, I'm a Viking, I'll be fine"
"You sure?"
"Absolutely."
Astrid P.O.V
He pulled out a needle and thread.
He sat on the floor in front of me and handed me a thick piece of leather and said:
"Put it in between your teeth, it's isn't pleasant biting your lip in pain."
I put it in between my teeth when he finished threading the needle.
"You sure about this?" he said, looking purely concerned.
" I already told you, I'm sure." I said, my voice a little muffled by the leather. When he made the first stitch, it was more pain than I thought. It hurt so much I couldn't see. Each millimeter he moved the needle, it felt like being stabbed, and the pain seemed to last forever.
Commander P.O.V
When I finished, she had tears rolling down her face and had her hands clamped to her head.
