*Maggie follows him over to turn back the sheets and then tuck him in once he lays down. She perches on the edge of the bed next to him* Shall I get ye something te help with yer cough before ye sleep . . ? *she offers*

*Maggie smiles back, a bit apologetically, and tries to tell herself not to fret too much* Aye, alright . . . *she reaches out to caress his cheek, then leans over to press a kiss to his forehead* I'll let ye rest, then . ..

I love ye too, Bard *Maggie replies softly.*
*She sits there for a long while yet, just watching over him. Then she rises, tiptoeing out to the main room to retrieve her sewing, and then back again with it. She pulls up a chair near the bed and sets to work on it once more, glad to at least have some busywork to keep her occupied*

*Maggie, still sitting by Bard's bed, has since nodded off over her sewing, her head drooping, her hands resting loosely in her lap*

*Maggie stirs at the sound of it, coming wide awake as she realizes what it is and dropping her sewing to scurry over to Bard's side again.* Oh, dear God . . *She whispers, terribly worried. She rubs his shoulder gently to try to calm him, but he's tossing and turning a great deal*
*She lifts her free hand to rest against the side of his face to check his temperature. He's burning up. She closes her eyes quickly to summon up a cool cloth to wipe his brow* Bard . . *she murmers his name, praying his fever's not so high that he will have gone delirious* Here now, 'tis alright Bard, ye're alright, ye're here, I'm here, ye're going te be alright. *she keeps talking to him soothingly, trying to pull him out of it*

*Maggie sets the cloth aside for a moment to focus on trying to wake him. Fevered as he is, he'll only get worse otherwise. Trying to focus on that task instead of the gnawing feeling of fear in her stomach, she puts her hands against his shoulders. He's too much stronger than her for her to succeed at holding him still, but she tries to at least steady him somewhat*
Bard, 'tis alright. Ye're in the Brink now. Luke's in his time. He's home, he's alright. *she tries to assure him, hoping it's not a lie. She speaks gently, but a bit more firmly to try and reach him* 'Tis alright, 'tis alright Bard, come on awake now. Open yer eyes now. Ye need te wake up, just for a wee bit.

*Bard slowly stops thrashing and his breathing calms. He opens his eyes and stares at Maggie dreamily*
Did he ged away?
*he has no time to take in his surroundings before he fades out*
**Exit Bard**

Bard . . *Maggie instinctively tries to hold on to him, but her hands slide through empty air. Unable to do anything else now, she clasps them together and closes her eyes to send up a silent prayer that he'll be alright, and that Luke will too*

*After a long moment, she rises to gather up her sewing work, fading out as she does so*
