Pike watches the Healers work to stop Star's seizure. He is torn between staying by Erik, or giving his strength to Star. Wish catches his eye as she slips past the Healers to whisper in Star's ear. He watches as Star relaxes, slipping into an easier breathing rhythm. He would ask later what was said.
Rowan and Galen notice the change. The Human gives Wish a smile, the Fae gives the Wyldfae a slight frown. Pike narrows his eyes, watching. Bright Court Fae. He and Wish would be something such a Fae would dismiss. Except this time, because they belong to the Prophesied.
Something tugs a vibrant lock of wild hair. Wish drags her glare from Galen to look at the Ambassador. Inari's smile takes the tension from Wish's spare shoulders. The Queen's Voice she is called, and the woman uses that nickname now.
"The Queen's gratitude is yours. Our Star collects the allegiance of unexpected sources, doesn't she Galen?"
Her eyes warn the Court Physician to watch his step. Pike hides a grin. Knowing that Wish has Rowan and Inari to remind her of her duty to Star, he slips from the room, seeking Erik, his chosen Lord.
