Indeed the pair received very many queer glances but it wasn't long before they were out of sight. The onlookers simply didn't have time to stop them, even though some may have 'tried' to offer assistance. As tightly as the wounded Val could she held onto Bone as they walked. The femme took very little note of what was going on around her now. Her mind was a whirl of thoughts and emotions.
The fort had finally come into sight Val took out some money that her mother had given to her. She knew that she would need a doctor and so she would use it to pay the bill so that Bone wouldn't have to worry about it. "Here... Use this to pay for a doctor to come. I'll explain everything later."
By this time they were entering the building and Val was placed in a room, away from Bone's sister. It didn't take long for the medical professional to arrive. After the healer left was likely fill Bone in as to the extent of Val's damage. Bone would be informed that she had many bodily cuts and bruises. He would also be told that it seemed that Val had a miscarriage.
Val was very weak but she managed to stay awake so that she could speak with Boneparte. She had been drugged, both to fight the pain and to fight any infection that may ensue.
As Bone entered Val looked up at him and smiled, unsure of how he would respond to her. But there was no hiding things. The only way to go about this was to tell the truth, to spill the beans fully.
Softly she groaned as she shifted in her position so that she could reach for his paw. Amazingly she was able to speak a bit more then before. "I left because I received word that my father was here looking for me. I didn't want him to hurt you and so I went to him. Of course I was captured by his strong-paw. He became enraged when I refused to marry a male of his choosing." Val swallowed hard and took a few moments to get her thoughts together and to relax physically.

Boneparte was rather shocked to hear that Valeata had had a miscarriage. But how? She couldn't have been more than 5 months pregnant if she WAS pregnant but....Boneparte had figured she wasn't. It didn't make sense to him, and it felt like an explosion going off close by. His stomach fell out from under him and swallowed hard. Nodding gravely, the meerkat went in to see how she was doing.
He stayed away from her bed however, looking down with studious eyes. He wasn't exactly sure how he felt about all of this after all. On one paw he was concerned, but on the other, despite her telling him that she had merely let him go because of her father, he knew he was still hurt from their past relationship regardless.
Shaking his head almost imperceptibly, listening to her words but unsure really how to address anything. He wanted to take her with him....that would give him time at least to sort out his feelings and keep her safe from her father....but could he really afford to be so close to her at the same time. "I thought you had abandoned me....broke it off permanently. I didn't want to see you again." he turned from her to face the door instead, still speaking to her but not facing the female.
"I...I have to leave and by tonight Val. My ship leaves for Personza tonight.....what do you suggest I do with you?" he asked, his eyes misting up but fortunately she wouldn't be able to see it. She'd need medical attention, and the boat would lack that. It was a five day voyage, from Saturday to Thursday. But maybe she could recover in route. Regardless though, he folded his arms, feeling the pain deep within him spread a bit as he waited for an answer.

Val totally understood why Bone would feel the way that he did. Heck... She'd feel the same way if she thought that he abandoned her. But what she told him was the truth. She was far from a liar. He should know that much about her at least... if nothing else.
The femme Meerkat's eyes flooded with tears. He was hurt that much was clear but she was as well, both bodily and emotionally. Again she pressed the money out to him until she dropped it on the floor, losing her strength. Softly she whispered. "This was my mother's life savings. Use this to hire a doctor to come along with us. Take me along with you Boneparte. Please." The money fell to the floor.
Val's breathing was a little heavy but soon she passed out from sheer exhaustion. She knew little that was happening until she woke up on the ship. Bone had taken her along. Clearly she was happy about that. Quickly the young femme healed but things were still a little disgruntled between her and Bone.
