[He thinks he hears a note of worry in the often impenetrable Higg's voice, and wavers between compassion and amusement. Damn, the man is rather adorable when he's all molten and sentimental... But he's also relieved Tarvek's own fears. And while part of him frets over the commonplace Madboy theories about time disasters ("I'm my own Grandpa" and "Stomp a butterfly in the Pliestocene and destroy civilzation" tropes being high on the list), he's inclined to treat Mayfield less as a time-loop -- in spite of Higg's apparent origins in an early time frame -- and more like a repository of recordings.]

I'm not sure at what point your memories start to match mine, Airman. In my memories you and the Princess, along with the minions -- Moloch Von Zinzer and Frau Snaug -- had separated from Lady Heterodyne's party after the cure and resolution of the Hogfarb's difficulties, and after we had discovered the Lady Lucrezia's hidden lair deep in the basements of Castle Heterodyne.
We reunited during an in-progress confrontation with Zola Malfeasium, that Pink b*-- ....er, um...that vile villainess representing one of my less favored family "alliances." Her intention was to kill Lady Heterodyne, and take me captive as her figurehead -- and, possibly, she hoped to also attach Gil. To accomplish that she drugged herself. Extremely. The combination of drugs and extreme martial arts training made her close to unstoppable: enough so that you yourself were unable to control her.
In the fight Princess Zeetha received a gut-wound. I retreated with Lady Agatha; Violetta remained with you and Princess Zeetha. Ultimately Zola escaped to pursue Agatha and me. Violetta provided medical aid: while she's not a superb front-lines Smoke Knight, she's a very skilled medic.
In the aftermath you requested permission from both Lady Agatha and Herr Wulfenbach to retreat to Mamma Gkika's to ensure Princess Zeetha received further medical attention. My sense, however, was that you had no great doubts of the chances of the two of you making it to Mamma Gkika's safely, nor any great concern that Mamma Gkika would be unable to cope with your Amazon's injuries. My own sense is that you considered the wounds serious enough to warrant more than a field dressing and care by a group of sparks in the middle of a "campaign," but at the same time you didn't seem convinced that the situation was a disaster.
In short, she was injured, and in my timeline is probably now enduring bed-rest, attended by you, and under the good Jagerfrau's tender care -- but unless something occurred on your retreat that I have not learned of, she's probably recovering well by now. I wish I could tell you more, but that's the limit of my knowledge prior to the time I was, er, obtained by Mayfield.
