Raina nods, her forehead wrinkled, weighing the advantages like she always does. She looks at Rowan and at Nick, then her gaze turns to Ob. “Lets do it.”
Nick still isnt convinced and takes her hand, “Rain, please, shouldnt you give it more than five seconds of thought?”
“No. I dont. Last time I was hurt it took months to heal. Months... I know I am impatient, but I dont want to wait that long if Ob can help.” She lets go of Nicks hand and strokes his cheek, “Stay with me?”
“Of course, you dont have to ask.”
Gareth smiles to himself, As if he could deny her anything....
Once upstairs in Rainas room Nick lifts her from the wheelchair and settles her on the bed. Rowan gets the pain medication and hangs the small bag next to the larger one. Then she gets towels from the bathroom and places them under Rainas injured leg. She removes the dressing covering the large gash leaving the leg exposed.
“Are you feeling a little sleepy yet?” Rowan asks.
At Rainas nod, she smiles and says “Good. I will go tell Ob that you are ready.”
Nick slides in behind Raina and wraps his arms around her. “I'll be right here and I wont let go.”
Raina nods and sleepily glances at Gareth and Ky. “You guys dont have to stay...”
Ky smiles, “We are staying.” and her hand goes to her sword. She still didnt know if she could trust the gargoyle. Everyone else seemed to, but just in case, she had no intention of going anywhere.
