They cannot... You cannot trust them...

[Enkidu frowns a little.

And for some reason when she mentions that she won't let them die they chuckle softly.]

Edelgard...I was never planning on doing that... [Not that they fear death or anything. The life of a Servant simply isn't long and never a true life to begin with. Once they served their purpose they disappeared.

But it hurts a lot to stand. It feels as if half of their body doesn't cooperate. Every limb feels swollen and sore and they're still very dizzy.]

Where will you take me? I don't... [They pause so they can squeeze their eyes shut.] ...not to them.

[unyieldingmarch]

I will take you to a healer. That is where I need to get you.

[Edelgard cradles the slight form in her arms, looking down at the strange being that she's come to know and hold in high esteem.]

The guard will not have you. And I will kill anyone that tries to hurt you further this day.

[She starts walking then, armored feet crunching on worn stone, the metal shell surrounding her curling forward as she hunches to hold Enkidu closer.]

You've lost blood, and you need bandages and rest. I know a herbalist not far from here who will see you, if you won't go with the Coven's rescue team.

[enkidoh]

One from the Coven...?

[Enkidu slowly moves to curl their arms around her neck and allow themselves to relax a little.]

...I don't want that....I do not trust them... They let this go on...for so long...

[To be fair, they have no idea how to place this. What has happened.]

Humans are better than this...I know so... [They move to press their face against her neck.] ...I should remember that... [Finally they shake their head.] ...no, not them...

[unyieldingmarch]

Not from the coven. An herbalist. A healer that works with plants, not magic.

[She's not going to take no for an answer, Enks. Don't even fucking try it.]

...And you are right. Humans are better than this.

The people that did this were more monstrous than any this world deigns to call monsters.

[enkidoh]

Herbalist...

[Enkidu repeats the words softly while they rest their face against her shoulder. Maybe Edelgard can feel how they're getting a little more heavy in her arms as they make it out together. They're tired and this seems like a perfect moment to fall asleep. And they trust Edelgard to bring them to a person who can properly heal them.]

...I have to sleep... It has been a while... [Still, they muster a small sort of smile.] Thank you...
