Alyssum was glad as Calla decided to remain on Antebellum, and the woman gave another rub of her hand on the horse's side, but did not need to speak words of encouragement to the mare. She could sense the creature preparing herself, already raring to go and ride off again, though her movements were subdued for the sake of the injured Luperci on top of her.
She was silent as the conversation between the two went on, and nodded when the conclusion was reached. She turned her attention to Hadley as he spoke to her and stated, "We'll get there as soon as possible. Get what you need, but don't take too long." She was not the kind to go telling what others should do, especially when it was out of her profession, but the alphess found this whole situation tense and worrisome, and all she was mainly concerned with was getting the miss to the fort and out of the cold. While Hadley's medical help would most definitely be appreciated, it was better to use what he already had at the courthouse than to go hunting for supplies all night long. But, she trusted his judgement, and did not allow another moment's delay, and soon the three were off.
She made sure Antebellum's pace was gentle yet efficient, keeping in mind both of the women's current status; with one carrying, and another wound, it would have been preferable if nothing jarred them too bad. More than a couple of minutes passed, but Alyssum knew that they had gotten to the fort much faster than they would have done with Hadley carrying her. Soon enough, they trotted through the entrance and walked right up to the courthouse's steps. The Luna carefully slipped off, and stood near where Calla sat. "Do you think you can walk still?" She could have perhaps carried her–if she wasn't pregnant. The most she would be able to do was support her with a shoulder and try to keep her up as she walked, limped, or whatever she could do.
