Exton

I stood by waiting for Keon to say he was in need of me... my bag sitting beside me if crystals or herbs were needed. My father's gracious gift of the soil he held dear made me smile, these people were becoming his family too.

I leaned against Ob... he seemed a million miles away,and I knew he was talking with Stoney about Ike,and hearing about Alise's condition. I cried when I had heard the beast broke almost all her fingers on one hand,she was so delicate... and I knew Stoney was hovering over her to keep her from danger.

"Obsidian,is Alise going to be sicker because she has not got her rest?... I know Tori was very specific that she needed time each day to rest the body she dwells in, I fear that no such thing happened while she was in Jean-Marc's care. I worry she will not recover as quickly as she should... if she needs it, tell Stoney to have my father and I weave a spell to help her recover."

I returned to watching Keon and the hulking Viking... Ob drawing me closer to his side and stroking my head as if to say everything would be okay....
