"Oh gods..."
~~ Lady Esta ~~
Location: Forest Path
Activity: Tending Emory, the Horse, and Solider
Mood: Worried, Guilty.
Just as she thought that she would be done for, that is, until Emory was able to step in and stop the bandit. But this only caused the woman to worry even more out of her mind. She and Emory had known each other since childhood, and maybe it was their similar hair or frequent visits that Esta had grown very fond of the woman. She always thought of her as an older sister of sorts. She saw that Emory had gotten a bit more control over her own powers, the one that turned those to silver for a period of time, or permanently. Truthfully an ability to be feared. Esta didn't like being that one 'damsel in distress', since it really wasn't her thing. Instead, she grabbed the dagger that hit the horse, and threw it at the back of one of the bandits before he could attempt to land another attack on her whilst chanting. As the chanting had stopped, she witnessed Emmy using an ability that could have possibly killed her if not careful. After that, all that was seen were disoriented bodies, screams of pain and agony, almost causing the girl to wince as though feeling their pain from where she stood. However, her attention was soon, and quickly, drawn over to that of her friend.
"Emmy!"
The female screamed out, quickly dissipating the ice in order to run over to the old childhood friend of hers. The rest of the bandits were immobilized, and so she didn't care much for them. Both her and the horse seemed to be in a lot of pain, and gods cannot describe how lucky she was to be knowledgeable in white magic. Of course, they would have to capture the rest of the bandits, but she found it odd how large the numbers were at this time, how they were able to have so many weapons, and decent armor for battle. Maybe she under-estimated the travel.. Of course, bandits and the like were always trying to take the head of the royals. She took in a deep breath, as she didn't know who to heal first. "Oh this is bad.." She muttered, and soon turning to the knight that had fought off some of the lower bandits. "Grab something to tend the horse. Now." She commanded, and a surprisingly stern manner. The knight nodded, running into what was left of the carriage to bring out a first-aid kit to use on the animal. In the meantime, Esta was kneeling by Emory, rubbing her hands together as a white light enveloped her hands. The light of her magic was used in the way where it would slowly begin to heal the bleeding. It would slow down the bleeding little by little, eventually stopping the bleeding all together. "Lets see.. The regeneration spell.." She uttered, whispering a few words that she learned from her mother for the spell. Her hands slowly began glowing green, and she rest her hands gently on the most majorly affected areas; so her stabbed leg, and mainly her head. After a while, she found a male run up to the carriage, only to find the horrid scene before him. Yeah, it was that bad.
She was a little surprised, as she was unaware that other guards were following her. Of course, she didn't eliminate the possibility from her mind, but she was surprised, grateful, and slightly harboring regret. She was just trying to think about how many guards and knights were harmed in a battle that they were not ready for, and how much trouble she had caused for others due to her own selfishness. ".. I'm sorry.." She mumbled, still trying to heal Emmy. It didn't help how she didn't know about the rest of the knights. If she would have known, she would have told the majority of them to stay near the carriage. But she couldn't mull it over now. They were on the forest path, much further from Vestoria, and she was worried about another ambush. Though, right now, she should really focus on the task at hand. Without a single complaint, she walked over to the solider, and began to gently spread the potion over his back. Emmy really was impressive, to be able to make a potion that could clear heavy wounds. The other knight was tending the horse, gently as though it were a baby.
"I'm James by the way one of the guards you tried to leave behind just putting it out there."
Those words basically stung her ears, more specifically, that last part. All she could do was nod, as she wasn't one that was fond of blowing her top off at people. The king would have to wait for a while, as she would have to continue tending the injured before they could advance. She would also be riding the horse to the kingdom, as unprofessionally as that sounded, they couldn't exactly bring a broken down carriage to the gates. Once the potion was spread completely, she began to use the same regeneration spell that she had used on Emmy, proving to be quite effective as Emmy's bleeding should have settled down by now, or at least, the pain and the wound on her leg would have stopped bleeding and closed up. She rested her hand on his wound gently, allowing the green light to wash over the wound. At first, her hand being placed on his skin would sting for a moment, only to be washed away with pure relief. It was like all the tension in his back would have been released along with the pain. At least, that's how it was suppose to feel like. She was oddly silent, but who could blame her?
She felt guilty.

[spoili]It's fine @Presence
It's a good way to be able to interact with Esta that way, so that's perfectly fine. The more interaction, the more we can progress the little part of the story right?[/spoili]
