Marianne pov contd..
We both sat under the tree and I took his hand in mine. After cleaning as much as i can, i took one strip and bandaged it on his hands. Then I tried on my hands but my right hand was injured so the left did not work that well.
"Don't be stubborn, Marianne, give me your hand." he said as he held my hand.
He picked up another strip and bandaged me like before, it always surprised me the way he did it so meticulously. Did he get too many injuries in the past! Why did I not seem to remember it?
"You want to rest further, or shall we go?" he asked and I shook my head. It was already noon and we should hurry.
"No, I am fine. We should start walking Cassius." he nodded as he stood up taking the hold of the tree and then forwarded his hand towards me.
For a change, I took it easy as there was no time to waste on foolish arguments. Let us reach the palace, then I would see him well and set him straight.
