"I think I've committed enough sins this evening, i do not wish to anger the lord further by bathing in holy water" she laughed lightly, looking around the room for something or anything she could use the thought of being drenched in her fathers and friends blood was starting to sicken her.

"There is a well out back, but I don't recommend going out there alone." Gwendolen nodded her head not hearing or choosing not to listen to the last part, wondering off whilst William and Damion continued to talk, she grabbed her sword which had been propped up against the wall and walked to the door at the back. Opening it she walked through into a small room with a single candle dimly lighting the place. With slight cautiousness she unbolted the last door and opened it, the night was quiet out, no longer could she hear the howls of those beasts travel in on the wind and what perhaps brought her the most relief the dark sky had started to lighten signalling that dawn was in fact approaching.

However this didn't stop Gwen from looking around before stepping outside, but once she saw or heard no threat she walked out closing the door behind her and walked across the stoned path towards the well. Leaning her sword against the brick, she attached the wooden bucket to the rope and lowered it down, it took all of her remaining strength to hoist the bucket up. Untying the bucket she placed it on the stone well wall before reaching down to tear of a piece of her nightgown to use as a cloth. Slipping out of her robe she let it slump to the floor and then slid her nightgown off her shoulders, tying the sleeves around her hips so it wouldn't slip any further.

Picking up the cloth she rung it out and started to wash her naked upper body, wincing loudly as her fingers washed over her side, looking down she saw a nasty black and blue bruise forming, with a slight shake of her head she dismissed it, there was no time to worry about things like that, after all it was just a bruise, she would not bother Damion with the task of looking over it.
