Who: Wedia and Lothie When: the next morning after she fainted. Where: Rohan What: Wedia informs her that she will stay in bed and she is worried about her.
Wedia leaned over Lothiriel as she started to wake up. She was swabbing her with wet cloth on her forehead and on her face. Lothiriel opened her eyes and moaned out, "Wedia, I feel sick I need the chamber pot." Wedia ran for the chamber pot and got it to her just before she got sick. "Oh Wedia, I don't know what's wrong with me.
Wedia looked at her and said, "Those dowdy old fools have you so upset about everything that your making yourself sick. You need to just relax and stay a bed for a little while." Lothiriel looked at her in total and utter fear. "NO! Wedia I can't do that, they already think I am weak, I can't look anymore weak then I already do. I need to go out and been seen."
"No, you don't and you DON'T have to do anything but lay here and feel better!! You are sick, you need to rest to get better. You will stay a bed you hear me?" Lothiriel looked away and said, "Fine, Leave me, now, Bring me in Theodrake, I want to talk to him."
She didn't look at her again and when Theodrake came in bowed to her and said, "My Queen you need my services?" "Yes, I am sorry we will not be training tonight or the next few days." "I would have not allowed you to train even if you would have come to the training area. You fainted, and seem to be sick, you need to rest." Lothiriel sighed, and started to rub her temples again. "Not you, too, please, I don't want to see anyone. NO ONE!!! Not Wedia, or my other ladies, no one, I will not be having my breakfast this morning either." "But my Queen, you need to eat to get better." "THEODRAKE! LEAVE ME!!"
She rolled over, and lay on her side, the rest of the day she went between tears, and broken sleep with the dreams of her being replaced with a stronger Queen. She didn't eat all day, yet even with no food in her stomach she dry heaved twice.
