Toria had made certain a Stark servant was relieving her aunt before she came by and offered her own relief. She instructed the woman to bring milk and honey up so that Gwyn could be fed, and then to go and have a meal of her own afterward. The woman came back soon enough with the honey and milk, and a piece of bread for Toria to eat while she kept vigil by Gwyn's side.
"Thank you. Please take your time. I will be here by her side until you return."
She would be true to her word. She would be there until the servant returned. What she couldn't guarantee was what condition Gwyn would be in after giving her this antidote, or if it would even change at all. It was a risk that had to be taken. If you wanted to cross a bridge, you had to take the steps to do it. Her little cousin's life was so much more than a bridge, but the metaphor fit. The maesters had nothing to cure her.
Pouring the contents of the vial into the mixture of milk and honey, Toria lifted Gwyn's head gently and opened her mouth to receive what she hoped was an antidote.
Once she was certain all of the contents were inside Gwyn's mouth, she rubbed her throat gently to make her body swallow it and set her head back down on her pillow. Leaning over her little cousin's bedside, she kissed her forehead.
"May you be blessed with life and not death," she whispered. "Please awaken soon."
