Difyr frowned and sat down.

"Did she say anything about what it was?" Difyr asked.

"No, that was why Nelek went for you. She had a...I hesitate to call it a fit...she was lost in her own terror...it must have been a bad flashback or something. We had a hard time pulling her back to us."

"Not directly," Aron replied, pacing the floor. "But from her pleading for someone to stop, it had to be one off two things, at least in my mind. A flashback of her father beating her, but that's never bothered her before. Or the rape." ----------

Difyr sighed, both abuses were damaging, but the latter was the most recent and probably the most traumatic.

Was it triggered by anything?" Difyr asked.

"She just seemed to be staring out this window while we were talking," Aron said, pointing to the shuttered window. We put the shutter in place, hoping it would snap her out of it." ----------

"No, she was holding Yehudit and we weren't even talking about what happened to Aislyn." ----------

Difyr rummaged through her basket.

"I'm afraid there isn't much I can do for Liadan, besides give her some herbs to sedate her when she gets that way." Difyr took out a packet.

Aron nodded, "Of course, none of us know how to get anything in her when she is like that." ----------

"I know." Difyr said, "If you notice any warning signs you might be able to get her to take them before she starts having a flashback, but it seems that they come with no warning."

"They do. She had been talking as she stared out the window and then...this..." Aron sighed softly. ----------

Aron shrugged. "All right as it can be," said after a long moment of silence. ----------

Aron wasn't certain she did, but he didn't want to talk about it.There were too many feelings just below the surface, ready to burst out. ----------

"I know she and you are probably under more stress with what's going on in the village right now." Difyr said. "I'll leave you some herbs, just boil a pinch of them with tea and that should calm her down, but don't overdo it or she'll be knocked out."

Difyr handed him a packet of herbs. "I'll head back home."

"Thanks," Aron said absently, slipping the packet into his pocket. "You know what, I'll walk you home. I'd feel better." ----------

"I don't have far to go." Difyr started, then remembered that Aislyn was attacked during a short walk to her cottage from the bakery. "But if you don't have anything else to do."

"Not a thing. It looked like Brie could take care of any trouble for Lia and Nelek can take care of Aislyn." He walked toward the door and opened it for Difyr. ----------

Difyr hooked the basket over her arm and scooted out the door.

Aron closed and locked the door before following Difyr to the stairs. ----------

Difyr went down the stairs, then she waited at the door.

Aron was right behind her and opened the Inn door to let her out. ----------

Difyr headed towards the inn. She kept eying strangers and places a potential attacker could hide.

Aron was on total alert, ready to protect Difyr against any dangers. ----------

Difyr made a sound of disgust, then carefully stepped around a pile of cow manure.

Aron wrinkled his nose and stepped around it also. He inched a little closer to Difyr, not liking the distance that was grorwing between them.

Difyr carefully stepped over a scattered pile of road apples, then paused and turned to face Aron.

"What is it?"

Aron paled. He wasn't at all certain how to ask his question. "Do you think..." he began.."That Lia would kill me if I..oh, I don't know, go to the Black Raven for example?" ----------

Difyr gave Aron a surprised look.

"You don't strike me as the kind of man that would go to the Black Raven."

"I know. Normally I wouldn't. And I was actually using that as an example. But..." Aron's shoulders sagged. "I'm ...frustrated. And I can't be with the woman I love. Not that way, anyway." ----------

This had turned awkward for Difyr.

"Oh." Difyr said. "I'm afraid all there is for you and Liadan is time and patience. And maybe if Liadan talked to Ertzel some more it could help..."

"She'll feel like I'm pushing her into something." Aron sighed. "I guess I'll have to try to make the best of things." ----------

"Sorry." Difyr said. She hated it when she couldn't help a patient.

"What she went through was hard. We have two new patients who had gone through the same thing and both are in rough shape." Difyr said.

"I can't even imagine what she went through.  I guess it's selfish of me to want her to actually want to get better, or to think that her wanting it will make it happen."

"No," Aron admitted. "I only know that when I try to take care of her, she fights me." ----------

Aron started back toward the Inn, casting a glance from time to time at the Black Raven. Then he walked in the opposite direction. He needed to clear his mind.
