Cass trudged through the battlefield, carrying water for the wounded and dying. Many of her clan wounded had been already dragged off for help or to die in comfort, but some were still unaccounted for. She hardened her heart a little against the enemy wounded - the last man she had tried to help had taken one look at her tartan and gone for his dagger. Luckily - for Cassandra, and not the poor bastard - he couldn't move much and keep a hand on his stomach to keep his intestines from spilling out at the same time. Still, when one called out for water she found she couldn't deny them.

Alex lay groaning on the battlefield, too young to be there even by his own clan's thoughts. Still, he had not been able to resist the call, less for battle than for something he couldn't explain. But it had been too early, and now he lay calling for help, wondering if he would see his family again.

Cass nudged his sword away with the toe of her shoe, saying, "Water." Before kneeling next to him and putting the water skin to his lips.

Alex drank greedily, grabbing at the skin

"Slow down." Cass chided gently, looking him over for wounds and supporting his head so he wouldn't choke.

Cass eased the skin away. "You'll make yourself sick."

Alex took a deep breath and looked her up and down. "What do you care?"

Cass gave him a strange look. "Enough have suffered this day."

"Where are you hurt?" Cass asked, returning to business.

Cass frowned slightly, probing gently at his ribs since his arms and legs seemed intact.

Cass pulled away, holding her arm to her chest, more surprised than hurt. She leveled a glare at him, moving her hand back towards him slowly. "Don't be a baby."

Cass opened her mouth to admonish him but stopped suddenly, hearing her clanswomen starting to sing. "We have to go."

"I don't know!" Cass snapped. "But we have to go. They'll kill you."
