Set was about to argue. She wants me to do it? He took what she offered, looking down at the bottle, and then the mares. Power. Lots of power. He nodded to himself, grabbed a towel, and set to work.
Looking closely at Delta's body, he dabbed a bit of the liquid on the towel, and then her wounds.

Yawning and stumbling out of his bedroom, Tsuwari sleepily made his way toward the main rooms of the house. He rubbed his eyes sleepily with a hoof, "Ma--"
Then he saw the injured mares Set had brought. Orange eyes widened and Tsuwari's heart pounded. "Mama!" He squeaked, not taking his eyes off of Silverfall and Delta. "What's happening? Mama??"

Rose went passed him and briefly glanced upstairs. Tsuwari's door was still shut. With luck, Set's power on him would leave him slumbering peacefully through this. Last thing she cared to do was have him wake up with his mother absent with strange, injured ponies about.
Not wasting more time, the unicorn grabbed the book and went back outside and to her back yard. Pausing, Rose Rebellion closed her eyes and took a deep intake. Slowly, the tip of her horn began to emit a tiny form of light, eventually growing to a soft, warm glow. Her body tingled...the fur on her body began to stiffen up as she felt the air's humidity, the moisture...under her hooved the cold soil beneath the soft grass.
And her mind wandered, recounting the names and images of various herbs she had seen in her book. Much like she was apart of the earth herself, could she feel the confinement of the dirt, growing stretching until breaking to the surface, and rapidly shooting into an adult stage of life. Rose opened her eyes, panting with effort. It was a lot of different species at once to call forth, and Rose was used to doing specific plants at slow paces.
Rose began to pick the necessary ingredients for the various medicines. With luck, the minor skills learned from Willow during some of their brief times together, would help. The red unicorn returned inside, then, hooves full of contents. Her eyes the laid on the panic stricken Tsuwari. She knew it wouldn’t last.
“Tsuwari, just, stay calm and go sit down. Mama’s helping some hurt ponies, all right?”

Delta's eyes fluttered as she struggled not to fall asleep but... too late.

"Mama!" Tsuwari looked from Delta to Silverfall, horrified by their injuries. Sidling around the injured mares, he approached Set and looked up at him, "Seth? What happened?" He looked at Delta as she fell under, then back up at the god. In a quieter voice, he asked, "Did the big black pony get them like it was gonna get my Mama?"

"I saved them from the bad pony," Set said, looking at Tsuwari. Then he quietly added. "Let's try not to disturb them. They need peace and quiet while they rest. Think strong thoughts, Tsuwari. Brave, strong thoughts. It will help them heal. I know you are brave and strong. Your mother needs us to be brave and strong while she helps them."

(tired, not thinking)
Rose moved into her kitchen, and within time, prepared different concoctions from the ingredients brought in. One, a paste, for burnt flesh. Another, liquid, a clotting agent. And lastly another liquid that sped up the process of healing.
She returned with all three and administered the drinks, as well as applied the paste to Delta's wounds. Satisfied with her work, Rose stepped back.
(these remedies can be magical and work super fast for the sake of everyone here)

Tsuwari frowned and flared his little orange-red nostrils in anger. The reality of his nightmare was still present in the foal's mind, haunting him as it probably would for years to come. The big black pony-like thing.. that HAD to have been it--the same one. What if it had been after his mother? Tsuwari's little horn sparked for a second at the thought. He'd be ready next time.. and he'd get it.

Set watched Tsuwari's response from his inner mind. The foal quivering anger pushed a surge of power into the god.
Oh, yes, little Tsuwari. You'll do just that.
Then he concetrated on the mares and his horn glew a bright red, which quickened the medicine. This, at least, he could do.
Silverfall resisted at first, uncertain of the magic being pushed upon her, but finally relented to its whims. Her breathing grew much stronger and she opened her eyes and raised her head. And then put it right back down again.

time passes, let's say it's lunchtime now?
Silverfall looked around the room, having just again awoken from what seemed a long sleep. Set and Rose... Tsuwari... Delta... She didn't understand why they were here. Her body was sore, but at least the pain had died down some. Stretching, she rose. She realized then that this must be Rose's home she was in. Memories of the fire came back... of the beating Yama had given her. Set had rescued her? What happened to Wysteria?
She nosed Delta. "Are you awake?" she asked.

(Lunch, good enough for me ^_^)
The red unicorn looked over her shoulder as she prodded the grilled cheese she was making for Tsuwari. Rose really wasn't quite sure what to talk about, especially after bringing the wounded back to health. Instead, making lunch seemed a nice substitute to social interaction. Of course, Rose hadn't asked Tsuwari what he'd wanted for lunch, but he would just have to deal with what she was making anyway.
Rose looked at Tsuwari with a hesitant face while placing the finished sandwich on a plate, than placing the plate in front of her foal. "Please, please don't make a mess of this, Tsuwari.," she said hopefully. Still, all Rose could see was Tsuwari with strings of cheese all over his face and horn.
Not forgetting her company, Rose looked up to the three others. "Anyone want a grilled cheese while the stove's still on?"

Tsuwari, hungry as he had been with no breakfast, made no argument over his lack of choice as far as lunch went. One of his favorite foods happened to be cheese, so a grilled cheese sandwich always appealed to him.
"Hey Mama, look what I can do!" The orange-red foal called to his mother, obviously wanting some of her divided attention. Before she turned, he took half the sandwich and speared it with his horn. He then bowed his head and let the cheese drip down, catching it with his tongue.

Rose looked back to see what she prayed she wouldn't. Her shoulders sunk in defeat and what could have been annoyance. "Tsuwari...," she half moaned out to him, "Now, I told you not to make a mess!"
Her eyes darted to Set, knowing that business of sorts would shortly be discussed, no doubt. And Rose Rebellion didn't want to be cleaning him up elsewhere and getting on Set's nerves by delaying anything.
Promptly she grabbed a washcloth. "Do not play with your food.," she then told him sternly, expecting the removal of the sandwich from his face. She began to scrub of the melting cheese from his horn. While shaking her head, she looked to Silverfall, "Foals."

"It's not a mess!" Tsuwari replied, a glob of cheese falling from his horn to the table.
"I wasn't playing with it, I was EATING it!" The foal argued, writhing and making faces as his mother cleaned him off, "Mamaaaa!"
Once cheese-free with the remnants of his sandwhich piled on his plate, Tsuwari put his chin on the table, then pinned back his ears and looked at his mother flatly. He pouted, looking as if she had just taken away his favorite toy. Sometimes mothers are no fun. He slowly reached his head foward and took a bite bitterly, chewing slowly and swallowing before dropping his chin on the table again and sighing.

Rose looked at him with an unmoving face. No matter how much he used the bitter face on her, she would never budge. Rose was rebellious after all, and very stubborn herself. No matter how pushy or stubborn Tsuwari may get, Rose would always beat him there and stand her ground with him.
Though, the red unicorn could easily admit to herself how much Tsuwari's facial expressions made her want to laugh at times.
"You finish that, mister," she instructed him, "You didn't have breakfast, and I won't have you waist this food." Her eyes darted to the stove, time to flip the newest sandwich.
