The knock on the door made him jump awake. He drew in a breath and wiped the hair sticking to his forehead from his face. He felt like he just falling asleep but when he looked at the clock 4 hours had passed. He was a little paler than normal, there were dark circles under his eyes. The glimpse of himself be caught in the hotel mirror looked like death. It was the first time you gotten any sleep and weeks. "I'm coming," he muttered to the person at the door, stumbling to yank on some pants. He didn't bother with a shirt, he yanked open the door but didn't say anything, waiting for the other person to speak but for all intents and purposes zoning out a little.

He smelled her before he could see her. He recognized her scent as one of the Hawkes they'd met in Lothering. The youngest, the one that Cait seemed to be a little fond of. He put his hand on Cait's shoulder to stop her from moving and his nose twitched.

"Conner what is it?" Duncan asked with a frown, "If you sniffed out another bottle of..."

"Bethany Hawke," he muttered.

That was how they BOTH ended up unconscious at the camp. Her back was broken, and she was suffering from The Taint. Conner with much effort healed her as best he could. It wasn't his strong suit, when she woke, she helped heal herself, and Conner helped as well but that took a lot out of him. After that they only had the Taint to contend with. Conner was unconscious when Duncan performed the Joining. He woke up with a start, visions of the Archdemon still in his mind. It was better than his normal nightmares.

It seemed Bethany had the same dream as she woke up as well, her eyes darting around has her foggy mind put the pieces back together, "Maker, How long was I out? You shouldn’t have let me sleep that long," she scrubbed at her face and stretched out nearly expecting that excruciating pain in her back to still be there but it was gone. She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her head atop her knees.
