Exton

Inari rushes into the treatment room where the donors are sitting in recliners.

Rowan turns from her work, “Ambassador... we are glad to see you....”

Inari starts to remove her jacket and riding leathers, tossing them in a pile. She speaks as she undresses. “There is no time for formalities. You can take as much of my blood as you need.” Inari unbuttons a soft flannel shirt and adds it to the pile. Once she is down to her sleeveless green top and soft suede pants she takes a place in one of the recliners.

Ky reaches over and gives her hand a squeeze. “I knew you would come...”

Inari returns the pressure with a small smile. “We will catch up later, I promise.” Then she turns her head to Rowan, who is setting up a needle, tubing, alcohol wipes on a small table next to Inari. “I have one of the queens personal physicians waiting in the woods. If this plan does not work he may have another idea. The queen has given me permission to use whatever resources I deem necessary. But I think Wishes plan will work....if we are in time...”

Right then a very agitated sylph enters the room and speaks with Mortuis. Rowan looks up as the needle slides into Inari's vein.

“Rowan, this is urgent...” with a few instructions for the sylph to continue with Inari, Mortuis and Rowan leave the room and go to Stars room.

Rowan pauses for half a second at the sight of Star having a seizure. “Oh no. No. Damn it...” She races for her bag across the room and draws up some medication that she injects into a post in the IV line. When the crisis has passed, Rowan lets out the breath she had been holding.

“We need to get that transfusion started. This is a common occurrence with the amount of blood she has lost, but a serious one. I also think we need to let Erik stay in here with her. And whoever else wants to see her, just in case. And who knows? Maybe she can hear them and will know how much she is loved ...

Mortuis nods. "All will be as you desire. I will speak to Wish if you will speak to Erik."

Leaving a kiss on the blonde head of the girl Rowan had come to think of as her daughter, she turns slowly and goes to find Erik.
