Masquerade slowed as she saw the lake. She had managed to drag Tobias this far, and she was hoping to reach the coast within the next day or two, but for now they both needed to rest, and cleanse their wounds. She let him down to the ground by a thick tree trunk where he could prop himself up, and then went to the lake, filling her water container with fresh liquid. She brought it back, and reached up to untie the bandage around his head, but hesitated, afraid of what she would find underneath. "T-... Tobias?"

"I'm till numb from that potion. Go right ahead. I need to find out if I can see sooner or later, right?" A nervous smile, as he reached up to untie it himself. What a load of bull. He knew he wouldn't be able to see out of it again, after this... He leaned forwards, untying the bandanna and bringing it down to his lap, before turning his face back to Masquerade, eye closed... he opened it. "... Heh," A small, sad smile. "How bad does it look?"
(and I'm not gonna describe his eye because it's really quite gruesome. xD;; )

She grimaced, swallowing hard as bile rose in her throat. "Not so great," she replied weakly. Carefully she wet another strip of her cloak, and dabbed around his eye to clean the blood off. She stood, gathering the bloody cloths, and went to wash them out at the lake. Returning to Tobias, she knelt by him again and brushed his hair away from his forehead, trying to get a better look at the bloodied eye socket. "We don't want it to get infected... You really need a healer."

"Where are we? If we're near a town or something, maybe we can find one..." He slowly got to his feet, getting feeling back in his limbs again. Which meant he'd be feeling his eye soon enough. He made his way to the lake edge, and hesitantly looked in. "Oh my god..." He breathed, staring at his reflection.

She felt a pang of sorrow at the sound of his voice. Masquerade followed him to the lake, standing close behind him with a pained expression on her face. "Tobias... I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"No, it was Rosetta's fault," He replied, taking his wet bandanna from her and tying it back over his eye. "... Shit, I left my dagger in her stomach." He mumbled, getting to his feet. "We're in... is this the Lake Eliesta?" He frowned, looking out over the waters. "That means we're near the farmlands..." He mostly spoke to himself, rubbing his chin. "My sister might be... be able to help."

"Does she live close to Tumosked?" she questioned, a little reluctant to travel north again. Being recognized by anyone returning home from the battle was a reasonable concern.

He frowned and shook his head slightly. It seemed he would have to continue waiting for a chance to see his family again. "Honestly... I don't even know if she lives with Mum and Pop anymore."

She mirrored his expression, asking quickly, "Then do you think... They could help? Or help us find her?"

He glanced to her, seeming surprised she would be willing to go back north. "Possibly. Probably. Anette isn't the kind to just go off on her own without letting them know where she's going," He paused, thinking about it. "Anette's not like me, after all...." A brief nod. "Yes. They'll know."

"Alright then. Do you need to rest for a little while longer..?" The gentle concern was underlying in her quiet tone.

He thought about it. "... Do you know any communication spells?" He murmured. "We could always use one of those for convenience...."
(IT'S LIKE A FANTASY CELL PHONE or something idfk)

Her forehead crumpled. "Hm... maybe. Uhhm..." Masquerade crossed her arms, shaking her head. She was quiet for a moment, then paced back and forth, and her eyes lit. "Ah! Here, let's try this." She stooped down to grab a sharp stick, and started scratching symbols in the ground. She tossed the twig away and stared hard at the marks, murmuring under her breath.

Tobias watched her in silence for a moment, before he opted to adjust his bandanna as a more effective eye patch. He'd have to buy a real one when he got the chance.

"Mmm... hmm... mmmmkay!"She whirled around and marched to the edge of the water. She held on hand out, palm down, and started muttering again. Eventually a small whirlpool formed, and a fuzzy image danced across the moving liquid.
