Heading Home

[Xavier Douglas]

Laurestina,

Under your words and m'thought I have stayed abit longer. I feel much better than before and I have you to thank you for that. But I know it is time for me to head home. My brother-in-law William Lyon and his army have come at m'husband's request to see me home to Eenheid. I know you wished I'd say and wait but I wish my child or children to be born where they will grow up. I hope to call on you when my time draws near.

Thank you vera much again for all that you have done for me.

Xavier Dougals-Alexander
Countess of Boreth

[LadyLaurestina]

Entering the Infirmary, and seeing the room filled with bouquets of fragrant flowers, the sunshine streaming in flooding the room with hundreds of tiny rainbows, stood still in admiration. Though the cots covered with the cream muslin and linen had taken on a new transformation for the rainbow signified to her, the beginning of a new life, the hopes and dreams of a future filled with joy and blessings from above. Looking at the cot closest to the window, noticed it now lie empty and perplexed she wondered where her pregnant lady patient has disappeared. Perhaps she though, she had taken a slow walk through the gardens and was helping herself to still another bouquet of the ever blooming array of delightful radiant blooms.

As she went to the cot, and prepared to change the linens, basking her face in the sunlight, a warmth that she had nae known for some time intensified her longing to also take a walk in the sun, but would fist tidy up and make sure the lady returned to a clean bed bedecked with lavender sachets. Looking at the night table, she then seen the missive, folded and sealed with wax. Seeing it was addressed to her, she slowly unfolded it and signed. The lady had to do what was ahs knew was right, she did need to be home with her husband and family, she could nae begrudge her that. However, the healer was most concerned as to her condition which spoke of complications, being that the twin babes were name in the proper position, and that was why she had tried her best to get the countess to rest on her side and let the babes work their way around until they settled into the proper position. * Shaking her head with a slight frown* she proceeded to sit down with quill and parchment in hand as she proceeded to write, the words flowed into her quill easily.

Dear: Xavier Dougals-Alexander
Countess of Boreth

I am always most happy when I can make any one, especially a fine Countess as yourself, comfortable and aide thee in anyway I can so make thee comfortable. Thought it distressed me that thee can nae follow my orders, which were to insure not only thy babes’ welfare but that also of your own health. I do understand your need to be at home, and trust that thy journey has brought thee home safely.

When the time doth arrive for the emergence of thy babes into this world, I would gladly travel and be of aide to thee in thy delivery. I would hopefully be met with another healer, as I have great hesitation of taking on the heavy responsibity of thy twin delivery alone. Tis with anticipation, and joy that I will await thy word, via messenger or by a secured guard to be by your side. I have been told that there are some healers here within our own home and thine as well, who may also be able to help in this joyful delivery. Again, I have enjoyed your stay and look forward to our next visit, no matter what circumstance; I will be of service to thee.

With utmost respect, and affection,
Lady Laurestina


Rising she hands the missive to one of the rangers who seemed restless and asked him politely to please deliver the sealed missive to the Countess of Boreth, now once again home in Eenheid.
* Lowered her head in thanks *and offered it to his eager outstretched hand, his face lit up with beaming smile, without any hesitation he strode from the main hall into the gardens, appearing to her as though he would enjoy the journey.
