Zyfan Karanthir Syrrah
Thursday morning …
ZYFAN:
Karanthir …
KARANTHIR:
I'm right here my prince …
SYRRAH:
As am I. Tell me, how do you feel?
ZYFAN:
I am not sure. What has happened?
KARANTHIR:
You don't remember?
ZYFAN:
Everything is ... foggy, and I am so very tired.
SYRRAH:
That is to be expected. Drink this. It will help.
ZYFAN:
Ow! Something is wrong … with my ankle.
SYRRAH:
You … injured yourself. I have wrapped it for you.
You will need to stay off your feet for a time. Drink.
ZYFAN:
Thank you. I think I will sleep now.
SYRRAH:
Yes, that would be best.
ZYFAN:
Karan, will you stay with me?
KARANTHIR:
Nothing could pry me away.
Then …
SYRRAH:
He does not yet remember. It will come to him soon enough.
KARANTHIR:
What can I do for him?
SYRRAH:
He needs rest. He has lost … been drained of much blood. He is weak.
When he wakes, persuade him to drink more. It will build him up.
SYRRAH:
…I have sent healing energy through him, but it will take time. His
ankle is dislocated. I have reset it. There are minor cuts and
bruises but they are not serious. It is obvious he fought hard.
KARANTHIR:
I never should have left him alone. Honestly Syrrah, it never
occurred to me that something could happen in our own home.
SYRRAH:
You cannot blame yourself Karanthir.
KARANTHIR:
On the contrary, Daprima warned us. She had a dream he
was in danger. Fin told us, that was only a few hours ago.
SYRRAH:
Did she? I must speak to her.
KARANTHIR:
He's going to make a full recovery, right?
SYRRAH:
His body will heal, as for anything more, I cannot know.
I will return with nourishment for both of you.
SYRRAH:
… Karanthir, I am confident you will find the vampire
who did this. When you do, I will have a hand in ...
confronting this being. Understand?
KARANTHIR:
Completely.
