Castle Of Thorns [Mature]
Receiving an Offer
[Verzyne Duchy Barthof Village]
[The Brinsley family home]
Katie Brinsley
Morning, boys! It's time to get up!
Raven groggily opens his eyes.
The sunshine comes in from between the curtains; slowly brightening the bedroom.
Dion is still soundly asleep beside him.
He lightly shakes the older's boy's shoulder.
Dion Brinsley
Mm... A moment...
Dion buries himself deeper into the blanket.
Katie suddenly comes into the room.
Katie Brinsley
Wake up, boy!
She forcefully pulls the blanket.
Dion shivers in the morning breeze.
Dion Brinsley
Mom, it's still too early...
Katie Brinsley
What do you mean early! The sun's up already! Now get up and make yourself presentable. Look, even Raven's already up!
Dion Brinsley
Alright.. Alright.
After making sure that her son won't fall back to sleep, Katie leaves the children and returns to finish her chores.
Dion Brinsley
Morning, Raven.
Dion yawns as he greets Raven.
Young Raven (ML)
Morning. Sorry, I tried to wake you up, but..
Dion Brinsley
Nah, this happens every time. Let's wash up and get some breakfast!
He casually messes up Raven's hair.
Julia is already busy in the kitchen.
Young Raven (ML)
Good morning, Madam Julia.
Julia Brinsley
Morning boys! Go sit at the table and eat your breakfast. Dion, please help me to deliver some orders later. Raven, we'll go to Zeyd's place after you finish.
The boys obediently sit down at the dining table and happily eat their food.
Once they finish, Julia gives a basket filled with several tray of pies to Dion for delivery.
After making sure everything is in order, she takes off her apron and gestures Raven to follow her.
[On the way to Zeyd's clinic]
The village already looks quite busy in the morning.
Raven sees some women chatting on the side as they make their way to the market. Older men are getting ready to work; while children are happily playing in front of their homes.
Julia Brinsley
Maybe you can ask your mother to move here once she gets better.
Young Raven (ML)
Yeah. Not many people come by our home; it's usually so quiet. This place is so lively.
They arrive at Zeyd's clinic.
Zeyd's assistant
Good morning, Madam Brinsley.
Julia Brinsley
We're here to visit the patient.
Zeyd's assistant
Come in! Madam Montez is still asleep.
Raven softly touches his mother's hand. It still feels warm; seems like the fever hasn't broken yet.
Fyodor Zeyd
Her fever hasn't come down.
Julia Brinsley
Is it serious then?
Fyodor Zeyd
I'm not sure; but it's definitely different from Penelope's.
Young Raven (ML)
Will my mother be okay, Doctor?
Fyodor Zeyd
We'll see, little one.
Mariya stirs in her sleep.
Young Raven (ML)
Mother! I'm here, Mother.
Julia Brinsley
We're at Zeyd's clinic, Mariya. You fainted.
Mariya Montez
??? No... Must return to home...
Fyodor Zeyd
No! You are not allowed to go anywhere. You're still feverish.
Young Raven (ML)
Please, Mother. Get some treatment first; we will return home once you are better, okay?
Mariya Montez
You... The castle...
Mariya tries to say something, but she's still too weak and falls back to sleep.
Fyodor Zeyd
Let her have some more rest.
The three of them leave the room.
Fyodor Zeyd
I think you will have to stay in the village for a while, little Raven. Your mother's condition isn't very good.
Young Raven (ML)
What about our house? And, I don't have money to pay for mother's treatment...
Julia Brinsley
Don't you worry about that! I will take care of it.
Young Raven (ML)
No, Madam Julia! We don't want to burden you any more than this.
Julia Brinsley
Nonsense! You are but a child, this should not concern you. Or, you can help me with work if you must. I will compensate you, and you can pay me back slowly. As for the house, we can ask Bernard to look after it.
Raven looks at the weak figure of his mother.
Young Raven (ML)
Thank you very much for your offer, Madam Julia. I think I will do that. Once I get older, I will find another work. In the meantime, I will have to impose on your family for a while longer.
