Melissa went to the maester's tent where she found her friend Lilith lying unconscious, She settled down to watch over her friend and wait for Lilith to wake. She prayed quietly to the Mother.

People pass in and out, and Lilith's father Davos silently glares at Melissa from time to time, but after three or so hours, she begins to sir and roll over, looking like she is settling into a disturbed but normal slumber. She mumbles some unintelligible phrases and adjusts her shoulders and then yawns.

"Lilith?" Melissa whispered. "It's Melissa, you're safe now. And your father is here too."

Perceon had made his way in after some time to see his cousin, but simply hovered quietly at the back of the tent, figuring the girl's friend and father should be given the better spots and the first conversation.

"Safe?" She grumbled. "Melissa...just give me blanket..." her father shakes her.
"Wake up!" She sat up with a frown and looked about. "What? Where am I?" She asked. She looked down. "Is the tourney over? Did it not start? What....what's going on?" She seems on the verge of panicking.

Melissa leaned over and tucked the blanket around Lilith. "You're safe, I promise. This is the maester's tent, in my father's camp. The tourney is in progress. Would you like some water?"

"Yes," she said, nodding. "Why...what are doing in a camp?" She looked at Percy and then checked to make sure she was clothed. "Why is your brother here?" Her pupils were still dilated and her eyes were cloudy. "I....I remember some bad men, starting a fight...were'nt you there?"

"Yes. I was there. Don't worry about Percy, he wanted to know if you were safe, so I sent him word once I knew. Does his presence trouble you? It's only Percy, he won't harm you."
She glanced at her brother, giving him a warning look. She wouldn't send him away unless it were necessary but if Lilith was distressed, her needs had to come first.
"I'm sure the bad men will pay for what they did. Don't worry about them, they won't dare harm you in future. I;m sorry I left you, I was so afraid they would take me prisoner and I thought you'd surely hide."

"What?" She asked. "I..." she closed her eyes and opened them. "I saw the fight start, you ran out the door...I wanted to help you.." she looked down, "and some knight hit me and threw me in a carriage," she said. "Then they put a bag on my head and it had some stuff on it that made me sleep....and then I woke up and some man was asking me questions. He wanted to...what about the ladies?" She asked, as her father looked angrier and angrier, maybe not having heard the story exactly, "He said he was named...something Stormlands name...Fell? Master Fell," she said, "and he had this ridiculous hat...red like Lannister cloaks..." she shook her head. "I need rest."

"I am glad you are safe now Lilith. We will look into this man and see him brought to justice. " Perceon said, finally speaking up. He left the tent to go speak to his father, leaving Melissa to ease her friend to sleep.

Moved by sympathy and a touch of guilt, Melissa asked "Would you like milk of the poppy? We can talk more when you feel better. The most important thing is for you to get well."

She nodded and even her father agreed. "Just...just a drop," she said, and the maester doled it out, "thank you..." she murmured as she slept. Lord Florent did not look happy but stayed silent as he held her shoulder..

Melissa leaned in to her uncle. "My prayers are with you," she whispered. "Father will find out more about this and anyone who had a hand in Lilith's capture will be punished, I know it. I'll see to it myself, if I must."

He nodded silently. "I'll watch her from here, Melissa," he said. "Go out and help find who did this if you get a chance."

I will. House Gardener protects its own." She gave him an encouraging smile and departed.
