Hildergarde tell her.
Good ... now we can put her back on her bed.
Hildegarde wrapp firmly her arms around Anne's chest, under her arms while Sybille take her legs and together, they lift her and carry her carefully to the bed where they do lay down her upon the sheet impregnated with alcool, slip her in a thin shift and and wrapp the impregnated sheet around her, then settle her more comfortably in the bed, leaning her head to the pillow. Short of breath from effort, Hildegarde pant, then she turn to Sybille and tell her in a reassuring tone, putting her hand on her shoulder, seeing well the distress she feel to see her sister in this state.
She is well settled like that, there is nothing more you can do as long as she is in this state, aside sat near to the bed and talk to her if you feel like that.
Hildegard take a pair of socks that she immerge in the water of the bath and put them on Anne's foots, then she take a cloth that she immerge too and place upon the girl's forehead, then seeing nothing more she could do for her for now, she add.
I leave you alone with her, you surely need some intimacy, I will be back in a short moment, allright ?
