Seeing the dragonrider was obviously trying to help, Isabel settles as he asks, wincing as the movement trickles pain through her body. "Isabel," she murmurs at being asked her name. "Something to drink would be nice, I feel as though a fire's been lit in my throat."

The dry, somehow sinisterly sticky feel of her robes against her body begins to itch at the girl's skin and she fidgets, not wishing to look down for something tells her she won't like what she sees. Trying to block out the feeling of pain, she woozily follows the progress of someone getting nearer. Recognizing it to be the Weyrwoman in her hatching feast finery, she gulps a little, trying to seem presentable which for the moment is ridiculous.

"You got quite carved up there, young lady. Shrineth tells me your sister Impressed-"

"I don't want her to see me like this, Weyrwoman. She would be very upset! She needs to enjoy the feast..." Isabel interupts, wincing as soon as she realizes she has done so. Wessae doesn't appear to be affronted, however, and merely smiles.

"Well, you seem to be aware, that's always a good thing, Isabel." Wessae says with a chuckle, still smiling. "In fact, that was the very thing I was coming to discuss with your attendant, here." Turning her attention to Z'ni, she continues, "The Healer has the other girl who was mauled and is treating her in my weyr. I thought it might spare her a trip and a good deal of stress if we moved this girl there too. And she'd probably like to get cleaned up a bit," Wessae winks at Isabel's fervent nod, "then after the feast I'm sure her sister would want to come and visit. The feast itself is beginning, and I fear I'm a bit late for it. If you want to remain here for the feast, just get one of the older weyrlings to ferry her up to my weyr."

Isabel tries to keep her grin quiet, hidden even. Wait until she told Ina! Spending time in the Weyrwoman's weyr, and having the woman know her name was a bit overwhelming. "Weyrwoman," she asks shyly, "if my sister, Ina she's called, comes and asks you about me, please tell her I'm okay. And that she will enjoy the feast on pain of death."

Wessae laughs outright at this and nods, "Yes, I will definitely tell her that. I'm sure she'll come and ask after you. If you do take her, Z'ni, maybe take up some food as well for all of them. Now duty dictates I must head to the Feast. Take care." And in a hurried sort of walk-run, Wessae heads to the cavern proper, lifting her dress from the floor so it doesn't get dragged or mussed. Ina watches after her before settling back down on her makeshift bed, a small sigh escaping her lips.

((I'm just assuming they're in an out of the way part of the caverns, here and Wessae's made a stop.)) .
