"I'm going with you to find the Despoiler. You'll need the help." *looking at Angel* "We must talk, though, before we go. Let me know when you are ready, we can go to the Reprieve Sanctum to discuss things..."

Though her head throbbed and her joints ached with the remnant of fever, she felt remarkably alert and rested and – finally – safe. Owden, looking pale, sat on the edge of her bed. His eyes were closed in concentration and a healing hand was pressed over her.

The corridors outside Needles chambers were guarded by an entire troop of soldiers. Even her windows had been double-secured, being both barred by iron and sealed with mortar and stone.
Owden opened his eyes, but left his hand pressed to the Needle.

She could feel the goddess’s mending heat flowing into her.
By the time the healer’s gaze finally drifted toward Needle’s face, she could bear the suspense no longer. “What of my soul, Owden?” She found it difficult to speak. Though the healer had obviously worked his magic on her broken jaw, it was sore, stiff, and bound by a silken scarf. “Has it been injured?”

Owden’s eyes flickered away before answering. “You have had no pain or bleeding?”

“We don’t know anything is,” Owden said. He did not remove his hand from Needle. “It’s only a question.”

“Two days…or so they tell me. All we can do is keep pouring the Lady’s blessing into you and pray they are enough to counter the corrupting influences of your association with the Despoiler.”

“Would you please call it a fight?” Needle asked dryly. “ ‘Association’ makes it sound like we were…trysting.”

*The young fox spirit looked up from his place in the corner. She had woken up, but he could see she was talking about something important with the healer. The fox turned his gaze elsewhere and rested slightly*

"Wrapped in guilt...he...feels bad that he wasn't there" His hand still pouring healing energy's into Needle "He hasn't slept since, prowling the castle, just in case. It was he that called us here. And he sent Justice to gather his enforcers to look else where for him"
