The trees are starting to clear out, when Judy yells and stumble's forward, knocking you over in the process.
The breath leaves you as you hit the ground.
"Argh..." Judy hisses.
"What's wrong?" You ask.
"My knee..." She says.
You awkwardly crawl out from under her and sit her up.
After some careful poking and shifting, you come to the conclusion, based on Judy's flinching and muffled whimpers, that she's sprained her knee.
"Here..." You say, digging out your first aid kit and popping some paracetamol for her and handing her your water bottle.
She downs them in one go as you fashion a splint for her, cutting a branch to size with your hatchet and cleaning it up with your knife until it'll sit comfortably while you bandage her up.
With that taken care of, you help her up and after a moment's contemplation, you hook her arm over your shoulder and help her limp along, supporting most of her weight.
This slows you down significantly and you're extra-careful picking your path now, but it's not long until you come out to the clearing where Henry's cabin stands.
