[All things considered, it was probably a good idea to have knocked her out for a few more hours.
Not that Oswin wasn't exhausted to begin with, but the herbs in the tea Merlin gave her did help nudge her along towards slumber, if only for a little while longer. And it's that that helps to settle her confused and jumbled mind a bit, sort a few things out so that she knows a little bit more about what's going on.
When she stirs, the pain in her back's alleviated some, much to Oswin's relief. It's still there, of course, a load of burns like that don't just go away, but much less than before. The ash and soot are gone from her arms too and probably her face, though she hasn't got a mirror to check. She's still got her dress, though, despite the fact that it's probably ruined beyond repair.]
Merlin...? [She lifts her head, looking around only a little blearily.]
