The Sister tells her companion something and this girl, too, darts out into the pounding rain, arms crossed over her head as an inadequate shield against it. The wagon comes to a stop outside of the infirmary and a couple of sturdy women, argued out of actually carrying Lashan, submit to her arms going over their shoulders and help her out of the wagon and inside. Galli makes her escape quietly, back towards the teen dormitories. That leaves the boy.
When he's exhausted and baffled Guts is not terribly strange or frightening. He seems, in fact, not unlike one of the girls. Sister Faler wavers and then, knowing she'll probably regret this, says "We're here. I'll bet it's hard to move now that you've stopped. You can lean on me." She will go red in the face and make an involuntary noise like a protesting kitten if she has to bear too much weight - the spirit is willing, the flesh is a weaver! - but is game for a short distance.
Being away from the sword with its Healing charm makes the sort of feverish aspect diminish and the pain increase. That could just as easily be having to get up and step down out of the wagon and be pelted by cold rain and have to climb the few steps into the familiar infirmary, though.
"Oh dear, and you just recovered," the Sister Apothecary says soon after Guts comes in. She's supervising as other Sisters work something into Lashan's shoulder and wrist and just glances back at him, more of her attention on the older woman. "Were you bitten? Clawed enough to break the skin? I need to know what salve to give you."
Crowding in after Guts, a skinny girl comes huffing and blowing with two buckets of water from the bathhouse. "I did it," she tells Faler. "You owe me."
