Rivener had TRIED to sleep after that ominous message. He'd rarely understood when the Stars Spoke to him, but it was getting easier and easier lately. Perhaps because the moon was nearly full, and it made the voices that much clearer... Still, the words last night had been so unsettling that he hadn't been able to rest.
He had to know. He just HAD to find out if he was right. Because if Rivener was right and he didn't try to help, another of his kin might die! That was not something Rivener wanted to happen again! Not while he might have a chance to change things!
And so, it was with rather nervous trepidation that the Scorpion had called a cab at around 3 in the morning, going all the way to the far edges of Barton town, nearly beyond the city limits. Hell, perhaps even into the next town really! Once there he'd gotten out of the car, paid the man a rather hefty sum for such a long ride, and gotten out to continue on foot. It was 4am by then... And still the Stars were screaming at him.
A wounded Dog sleeps unwillingly beside the buried. White fur stained with dirt where many have tread. Towards the Rose of Barton.
Rivener had figured out some usual words a long time ago now. "the rose" referred to North on the compass, so North of Barton. "Dirt where many have tread" must be a dirt road. ...And a white dog... That could only be Xiu, couldn't it? He was the only white Raevan Rivener knew, and while the Sigel didn't know of Xiu's soul, he DID know Xiu was loyal and friendly and calm, much like a dog. As for "sleeping unwillingly beside the buried"... Riv HOPED he was wrong about that. If he got there in time, Riv might be able to make sure this sleep was one Xiu might wake up from!
It took about an hour for Rivener to find a dirt road passing by a cemetery on the northern side of Barton. Dawn was fast approaching, and the Scorpion shrugged his coat tighter. His wings, newly out of their bindings but still not strong enough to be moved easily, rustled against the cold. He wandered down that dirt road, red eyes peering through the dark...
"Oh no..."
There, ahead, in the middle of the road... That head of white hair, the wings, the kimono... "Xiu!!" Rivener's eyes widened and he rushed forward, throwing himself over the Frei-... No! Sigel! Riv gasped again and moved back, covering his mouth. Xiu had grown! But... w-would he get to live to enjoy it?! His arm was wounded, there was an odd damp spot on the white kimono... And one hand looked so damaged! Was it burned?
"Don't worry Xiu," Riv whispered, shaking himself out of his shock. He would marvel at the growth later. "Don't worry, I'll get you some help. Don't worry." Strong arms scooped up the other Sigel, and Riv went to lift himself up off the ground when something ELSE caught his eye. Next to Xiu's body was a Sword...
Riv hesitated a moment but decided it might be important. The Stars, what was left of them this early, screeched about the white streak... One hand wrapped around the hilt and Riv lifted, carrying Xiu and floating off as fast as he could make himself go. He needed to get to the lab!
It was 5:30 am when the doors to the Lab 305 offices slipped open to admit Rivener and his newly-grown cargo. "HELP!" Rivener screamed at the top of his lungs, moving inside and heading for the medical section, not bothering to pause at the lobby. "HELP! DR KYOU, LAZ, ANYONE! HELP!"

Lazarus does not sleep every night, because there isn't a need for him to. Feeding off fire keeps his body energized enough that he does not need physical rest. The incubus only sleep when he has nothing to do, and he only does it to pass the time. This night was one of the nights that he was not sleeping, the sense of unrest he felt earlier from Xiu's phone call kept him on edge. But he couldn't just barge to the Frei's house like that in the middle of the night, so he decided to clean his magazine and book rack to distract himself and pass the time.
He was nearly done, discarding another old magazine into the rubbish bin when he heard the masculine scream coming from downstairs, almost directly below him actually. The first thought that came to mind was.. Xiu! Throwing the magazine in his hand uselessly to the floor, Lazarus dashed out of his room, scaled the length of the corridor and down the stairs only to see not one, but TWO Raevan in the Lab corridors.
"Rivener?" The Sigel said with eyes wide open, and staring at the other Raevan limp in Rivener's arms - Xiu! It was unmistakable, the white hair, the stone wings and the white clothes. Although he also noticed that there was more mass to Xiu than before, he grew? But then, why is he unconscious? There was no time for admiration though. "What happened?" Lazarus asked as he rushed towards the duo, worried very evident in his voice.
As he approached the Raevans though, the presence of another being- no, another object, caught his attention. Peeling his eyes off Xiu, Lazarus stared at the sword held in Rivener's other hand. It had a green and gold hilt, the green looked like it was made of jade, it was very ornate... and had a very foul aura - at least to Lazarus anyway. Making a face at the sharp object, he stopped about one foot away from Rivener, not daring to go nearer lest he gets sick and throws up on spot. His face paled as he thought of an excuse to get away. "I-I'll go inform Kyou right now." The Sigel said a little weakly as he dashes off towards Kyou's office.
About two to three minutes later Kyou emerged from the laboratory's double doors, his hair ruffled and he was in his pajamas, just putting on his lab coat. Lazarus following closely behind him, seeming to regained some blood in his complexion when he is further away from the sword. "I'll unlock the Tsu's office for you now." The scientist said hurriedly as he pulled out a bunch of keys from his lab coat. Inserting the labeled key into the door swiftly, he opened the door and turned on the lights. "Put him on the examination bed." Kyou instructed as he went to fetch the first aid kit, noticing that Xiu had a badly burnt hand.

Relief flooded through the Scorpion at the sight of Lazarus, the fire Sigel showing up moments after Riv's initial scream. That must mean the other hadn't been asleep, good! Riv hurried forward with Xiu in his arms, missing Laz's disturbed glance towards the sword. "I'm not sure what happened," Rivener admitted. "I just found him like this on a dirt road, near some graveyard at the edge of Barton. He was already unconscious, and this thing was near him..." He motioned to the sword with his chin, not bothering to explain what he was doing wandering a dirt road by a graveyard on the outskirts of Barton himself.
That was about all the explanation he had time for: Laz left to fetch Kyou, for which Riv couldn't be more grateful. "Hang on, buddy, you're gonna be fine." Soothing words for someone who might not even be hearing them, but they served to calm Rivener's own nerves as well. His breathing was labored from having zoomed here so fast without flying, the anxiety for his friend's health not helping at all. Now that he could put Xiu in Kyou's capable hands, Riv could finally breathe slower.
The Sigel paced in the hall, knowing all the medical doors to be locked, until Dr Kyou himself showed up looking half-way silly in his pjs and lab coat. Riv might have laughed had the situation not been so serious. He followed into the unlocked office and, as he was told, Rivener very carefully placed the grown Xiu onto the table.
"...There's a weird wet spot on his shoulder too," Riv pointed out. "I don't know if it's important, but he wasn't laying in a puddle or anything... Looks like he was splashed with something, it could be dangerous?" Wringing his hands around the sword hilt he still carried, Riv floated back to give the doctor some room once Xiu was settled.

In his hurry of unlocking the door, especially in his groggy state still having awaken far too early in the morning, Kyou did not notice Xiu had grown into a Sigel until he returned with the first aid kit. For a moment he just stood there with his eyes wide and his mouth slightly agape, stunned. Although he looked like a mess now with his white clothes stained with dirt, his long hair tangled and a few strands matte to his sweating face.
Noting Rivener's comments, Kyou put down the first aid kit on a trolley table and pulled down Xiu's sleeve, examining his shoulder. An audible gasp escaped his lips as he saw the source of the wet spot - A hideous gash on his shoulder, it was at least four to five inches long, and it was oozing some white substance. Knowing Xiu's fel essence, it doesn't take long for Kyou to connect the dots. Xiu is bleeding, and judging from the wet spot on his sleeve and the mess on his skin, he bled a lot. Not to mention he seemed to be very warm as well, probably having a fever, noting the white Sigel's slightly labored breathing.
"I don't think we have enough bandages for this." The scientist said as he inspected the contents of the kit, there was still the burnt hand as well after all. "Lazarus, go get some spare roll of bandages from the top right cabinet. Rivener, can you grab a bucket from under the sink over there and fill it up with clean water for me?" The wound looks pretty bad, so it's best to clean it up as soon as possible.
All this time Lazarus just looked on quietly. He was worried for Xiu but at the same time, the sword Rivener was holding bothers him as well. Where the hell did that come from? And why does it make him feel sick? So he kept his distance from Rivener as Kyou examined Xiu. Upon instructed, the fire Sigel obediently went to retrieve the bandages from the appointed cabinet, putting them beside the kit as he lingered at the edge of the examination table, brows furrowed as he looked worriedly at the gash in Xiu's shoulder. What did this to him?
When the bucket of water and the bandages arrived, Kyou took a clean towel and began to clean the wound on Xiu's shoulder, wiping away the dirt and dried white blood around the gash. Thankfully the wound wasn't too deep, although it would still need some stitches. Since the virus outbreak last year, Kyou had taken up the initiative to take some first aid classes himself, even the advance level stuff. Even if its not doctorate PhD material, at least now he knows how to do simple stitches and treat non-complicated wounds. With the residential doctor constantly not showing up for work and going missing, this is probably the best.
And today would be the first time he treat an actual patient. Having the wound cleaned, now he need to disinfect it. Picking up the bottle of antiseptic, he poured a small amount onto a large ball of cotton and began to apply it onto the gash.

Xiu winced. The dull throbbing in his shoulder had returned once again but this time…it was accompanied by a sharp jarring pain that threatened to send his wounded flesh into a whole new level of pain.
…you have forfeited your voice
… Don’t ever bother searching for me again and with that, goodnight
Blue eyes snapped open as the events of the night came flooding into him. Panicked, the white raevan tried getting up but something was holding him back; pushing him back into the soft ground. In his fatigued state, the white raevan saw the leering face of the trader as he was bound helpless against his will. He would not have it!
With all the strength that he could muster given the circumstances, the white raevan hit out; feeling his hand come into contact with something quite solid. Xiu was vaguely aware of voices shouting his name and the feeling of more things trying to push him down. Adrenaline kicking up a notch, the white raevan flared his wings and began beating them furiously in an attempt to get away. Bottles of medication were knocked over and bandages were strewn about in his haste to free himself of his captor.
Joshua!
He had to see if the little child was okay. And if…if he got home before the housekeeper was awake, no one would…know any better. With a last determined flap of his stone wings, the white raevan tried to rise and with glazed eyes, made for the direction ‘home’ would be in.

Rivener quickly complied with the request for a bucket of water, floating to the sink. He put the sword down, propping it against the wall, so both hands could be freed to carry the nearly-full water bucket back to Kyou. That "wet spot" had been revealed now, Rivener's face growing paler with concern: it was a GASH! A large gaping wound on Xiu's shoulder, the white stuff seeping out... poison? Blood?
Mindful of not getting in the way, Riv floated back far enough to leave Kyou room to work but not far enough that he couldn't watch with a worried frown. He floated over beside Lazarus, the two Sigels watching the third Sigel as that wound was cleaned. Kyou moved to dab with disinfectant-...
And all hell broke loose. Xiu suddenly seemed to wake up, lashing out at the doctor and sending him flying back into a rolling chair somewhere behind the Raevans. Riv reacted before he could think, launching himself forward and trying to pin Xiu's arms down lest he hurt his wounded shoulder more. "Xiu! Calm down! XIU!" Riv yelled, his concern evident. "Come on, buddy, just lie down!"
Nothing seemed to be getting through to the wounded white Sigel. Xiu beat his wings furiously, trying to escape, his eyes glazed over... Probably in shock, or at the very least not aware of his surroundings. "******** sake! Someone give him a shot of tranquilizer or something! Xiu, STOP IT!" A rather sudden adrenaline-fueled flail nearly threw Riv into the wall, the Scorpion barely managing to hold on.

One moment he was dabbing a generous amount of antiseptic on the wound, the next moment he was thrown off, sent flying back until his back hit the soft cushion of a rolling chair and his a** hit the floor painfully. Keeping himself up steady with an arm, Kyou blinked and tried to grasp what happened, the left side of his face stung from the impact with Xiu's fist.
It all happened so quickly, Xiu suddenly waking up, Kyou being flung to the floor, and when Lazarus come to his senses Rivener was already trying to pin Xiu down. For a moment he felt torn, he don't know whether he should help Xiu or Kyou. But one thing he know for sure, they need to calm Xiu down first. Tranquilizer! Going over to the first aid kit, he looked for the tranquilizer needle and found it... "Broken." He muttered as he picked up a big piece of plastic with the words 'Tranquilizer' on it from the broken needle, the rest of the needle laid all over the floor, mixed with the broken bottle of the antiseptic. "The tranquilizer needle is broken!" The Sigel yelled, and it seemed like it is the only one in the kit as well.
"There's another first aid kit in the laboratory." Kyou said as he got to his feet shakily, using a nearby table as support. "I'll go get it, you guys try to hold him down as best as you could and wait for me!" And with that, he half stumbled out of the room, miraculously not falling over himself in his current state.
Rivener almost got thrown off then, barely holding on. Hastily going over to the scorpion, Lazarus helped pin the deranged Sigel down. It was probably due to the adrenaline rush, but Xiu was surprisingly strong as he continued to flail, making the other two Sigel's life difficult. Can they really wait until Kyou returned with the other first aid kit? Lazarus wondered as he looked at Xiu's struggling form. The white Raevan's furious expression, his violent demeanor and... suddenly he realized how quiet it was despite the struggling. The only noises were from the erratic movements, and the heavy breathing sound of all three Sigels. He would've expected Xiu to be making protesting noises from this amount of struggle. So why..?
In his moment of hesitation, Lazarus lost his focus and his grip on Xiu's arm loosen, causing it to free from the fire Sigel's grasp and clawed into his arm instead. "Agh!" Lazarus cried as he tried to regain his grip. "Where the hell is Kyou?" He hissed as he looked over his shoulder to a still empty room. Crimson eyes fell onto Xiu again as his mind raced. Maybe... maybe Xiu doesn't need a tranquilizer to calm down. He couldn't bear to look at Xiu like this anymore.
Getting onto the examination table on top of Xiu, he pinned both of Xiu's arm down, careful not to touch his wound as he slammed the white Sigel into the soft surface once. "LOOK AT ME XIU!!" The incubus bellowed, trying to get Xiu to focus on him. The moment Xiu's bright blue eyes met his crimson reds, he quickly seized the moment. "Stop struggling! You need rest, just... go to sleep." There was a trickling of sadness in his voice, it wasn't so much seducing as more pleading.

The white raevan was fighting a losing battle. With two strong Sigels doing their best to hold him down, the white raevan was slowly being pushed back onto the bed’s mattress. “LET ME GO!!” the white raevan shouted furiously but no audible words were heard. However, it did make one of the things holding him down loosen its grip. Instantly the white raevan dug his fingers into it to force his captor to loosen its grip further. He must escape!!
Baring his fangs, the white raevan continued to thrash wildly in distress. The wound on his shoulder was beginning to open again as the raevan continued to fight tooth and nail against the trader who had immobilized him. The trader had tricked him! He had promised that his voice would be returned when he paid the trader what was asked for. It wasn’t supposed to end like this!
“YOU LIED TO ME!!” the white raevan shouted still fighting for all he was worth. In his mind’s eye, the white raevan was still a frei and the trader was still staring mockingly down at him. With his free hand (the one that’s not currently digging into Lazarus’ arm), the white raevan made as though he was trying to grip something; something rather long and had a hilt but his hand closed over empty air. The trader had even taken the sword! Anger and hurt surged through the white raevan’s body like a roaring wave in a storm. He’d not have it! Xiu’s rune began to glow alarmingly bright in accordance to the raevan’s desperate struggle; its brightness threatening to become blinding if not stopped soon.
It was then that the white raevan was suddenly slammed bodily against the soft ground. There was something pinning him arms tightly against him and Xiu was vaguely aware of the sensation of being pinned under something solid as well.
"LOOK AT ME XIU!!"
Something about the voice’s commanding nature made Xiu momentarily glance in his captor’s direction and…the battle was decided. Feeling his body beginning to weaken despite his mind’s insistence that they should not, the white raevan continued to stare into Lazarus’ eyes; he couldn’t pull them away from the other’s hypnotic gaze. “Let me go…please,” the white raevan pleaded, his breathing becoming deep and even as sleep began to take its hold over his tired and aching body. “I have to get back…,”
“I have to…,”
Arms lifted slightly in protest as the final bit of fight left the raevan’s body, Xiu collapse into the bed’s soft folds. Blue eyes fluttered briefly before they too started to close. In that instant, one couldn’t help but notice that…recognition had finally set it.
“Lazarus? And…Rivener?” Xiu murmured the words blearily before finally falling into a deep sleep.
All of the raevan’s words were of course, inaudible.

Rivener grit his teeth and swore under his breath. A broken tranquilizer needle? Just their luck, damnit! Thankfully Kyou kept another first aid kit in another room nearby, and the doctor left to fetch it. Laz's help in keeping Xiu down was very much appreciated, though it didn't seem to help much. The extra set of hands only made Xiu flail harder, struggling ferociously against his captors...
Rivener saw Xiu's lips move. He was speaking, or screaming, or something... but no sound? Like Laz, Rivener suddenly noticed how very silent it was in here. Only the creaks of the bed and their grunts of effort could be heard over everyone's labored breathing.
Lazarus let out a groan of pain when Xiu's fingers suddenly dug into his arm, causing Riv to gasp in surprise. Again Riv gasped when Lazarus just outright climbed onto Xiu, pinning him down and-
Ah! Of course! How could they have forgotten? That was the suggestion-power Lazarus had confessed to developing, that day he and Rivener had gone drinking! It was just what they'd needed here, Xiu's struggles finally abating and his eyes slipping shut... As Riv watched, those lips formed silent words again, words the Scorpion was pretty sure he knew. Xiu had calmed enough to realize who had been holding him.
The dark Sigel let out a sigh of relief, finally letting go of the white Raevan's arms and floating back a ways. "...Good thinking, Laz. ...What the hell happened to him? He looked so panicked." Riv frowned, baring his teeth. If someone had hurt Xiu like this, they wouldn't get away with it. Rivener would never let anyone get away with harming a Raevan. If he could find out who'd done this, he'd kill them.

It was only when the white Raevan calmed down and fell into a deep sleep that Lazarus released his grip and climbed off of him. His heart still beating fast from the adrenaline rush and commotion. What happened to him? That is a good question. "I... don't know." He muttered in between breaths.
A flurry of uneven footsteps could be heard then, and Kyou's face emerged through the open doors clutching onto another first aid kit. "He's stabilized?" The scientist exclaimed in surprised as he stared at Xiu's sleeping form, his chest heaving rather obviously, indicating that he had been running as well.
"Where the hell were you?" Lazarus said almost accusingly, his crimson eyes glaring at the dark haired man. "It felt like forever since you've been gone!"
"I-I forgot that I stored the first aid kit back into the storage room the other day, it was so messy and dark in there it took me a while to look for it." If Kyou's face was pink before from the physical exertion, now the color got darker after hearing Lazarus's words.
No more words were exchanged as Kyou quickly and silently headed back over to the side of the examination table, pulling the chair over as he sat on it. Before this the bleeding on the shoulder wound had ceased, but during the struggle it was agitated and had started to bleed again. Uttering a quiet curse, Kyou cleaned up the gash as best as he could, pressing it gently to stop the bleeding before applying the antiseptic again, taking a new bottle from the second kit. Xiu jerked a little when the soaked cotton ball touched the gash, but thankfully he did not wake up again. Kyou had to wonder what did the two Raevans did to warrant this... peace, unknowing of Lazarus's new ability yet. Whatever they did though, at least the scientist was thankful for because he could finally treat Xiu properly. Taking out a surgical needle, he prepares to suture the wound.
Lazarus didn't know why did he got so hot-headed all of a sudden, saying those mean things to Kyou. Sighing deeply, he tried to calm himself down as he hang back with Rivener, watching the procedure closely. "Did you notice... the silence just now?" He asked Rivener quietly, his voice almost a whisper and his eyes never leaving Xiu. "And he was mouthing those words, like he was saying something... but no sound came out." The fire Sigel was pinning him down the whole time, and although he was not experienced with mouth shape recognition, he could recognize a few words that the newly grown Sigel was trying to say.

Rivener flinched at Lazarus' loud voice when the fire Sigel barked at his guardian. Kyou had obviously gone as fast as he could, panting from the effort, but Laz blew up anyway. Riv blinked at the two, staying out of it, but it didn't escalate into an argument. Both men knew that looking after Xiu was the most important thing right now, so they'd moved on. Riv and Laz hung back while Kyou set to work, swearing as he discovered the newly-bleeding shoulder wound.
Lazarus' quiet voice drifted over and Riv leaned a little closer to whisper back, frowning as he thought. "Yeah, I noticed. He was trying to yell about going home and for us to let him go, it looked like... Then before he passed out he tried to say our names. Whatever had him so panicked must have gone after you calmed him down... Maybe his throat's hurt? Should Kyou look at that too?" Riv concluded, turning a worried glance to his conscious friend.

"I'm not sure Kyou knows that much about medicine." Lazarus shook his head as he spoke. Kyou only studied first aid after all, he is a scientist not a doctor. "My guess is that you don't know why as well?" He inquired, directing his eyes to Rivener now. "We didn't have a chance to speak like this before, but... what exactly happened?" There was a sense of quiet urgency in his voice, like he needed to know. "And where did that sword come from?"
Lazarus does not know why he's so worried and restless. Perhaps there was just too many things happened at once. The phone call, Xiu grown but badly wounded, the sword, Xiu's seemingly missing voice. There must be something going on that he and Kyou doesn't know. Hell, maybe Rivener doesn't know as well. He looked almost as clueless as him and Kyou. So doing the math, the only person that would know is Xiu.
After cleaning and treating the shoulder wound, it comes time to bandage it. But... the method Kyou learnt would require Xiu to be topless. Moving back a bit, the dark haired man stared at Xiu's new grown form and the complicated layerings. Where to start? Perhaps from the top layer? Which was the waist wrap the white Raevan is wearing. Experimentally he tugged on the edge of a cloth that seemed to be tucked under the wraps, and it miraculously slipped out. Maybe this wasn't as difficult as he thought. Slowly he started to undress Xiu, peeling away layers and garments as he went. The clothes were dirty as well, so perhaps they could put it in the laundry too to wash tomorrow while he rest. When he finally finished with some difficulty, he carefully piled the dirty clothes on a table nearby and begin to unbutton Xiu's grey vest. The vest doesn't seem as dirty as the other's, perhaps for Xiu's modesty, he could keep it on when he is done.

Rivener simply shrugged at most of what Lazarus was saying. It didn't escape the Scorpion's notice that his fire-Sigel friend sounded particularly upset now... Perhaps the shock of adrenaline had worn off and Laz could finally really come to grips with what's been happening. As much as Rivener would have liked to give answers, he could only shrug again, eyebrows lifted high in confusion.
"I-I... I honestly really don't know what happened, Laz. It's like I said before: I found him in the middle of a dirt road like that, near a cemetary, on the outskirts of Barton. The sword was just there, on the ground near him. The only reason I knew to go look for him is because the Stars told me someone would need help tonight, and gave me a rough area to look in... Remember, I told you about that power at the bar?" He'd whispered the last parts, not wanting Kyou to know. It was best if NO humans knew Rivener's gift with the Stars, as far as the Sigel was concerned. "I think the only one who really knows anything might be Xiu himself," Riv concluded, unknowingly echoing Laz's inner thoughts.

"I see." Lazarus nod quietly. Right, the power Rivener mentioned before at the bar. Man, they were so wasted that day that his memory was still fuzzy and sometimes he wonder what really happened what did not. But the fire Sigel was thankful for the scorpion's powers, because if not for him, Xiu would've been left out in the cemetery for God knows how long. "Thank you." He whispered quietly. "On behalf of Xiu."
Slowly Lazarus floated towards the examination table again as Kyou started to bandage Xiu's shoulder, wondering if he could help in any way.
Kyou did not pay attention to Lazarus or Rivener as he focused on treating Xiu, wrapping the bandages under and around Xiu's arm a couple of times and over his chest finally. When he was done with the shoulder wound, he quickly moved to treat the burnt hand. Thankfully it is only a second-degree burn. Putting the remainder of the bucket on his lap he began to clean the burnt wound with a drenched towel. For some odd reason, he could felt a faint trace of something evil from the wound as he cleaned it. But the aura was slowly dissipating so it shouldn't cause any complications to the healing process. Whatever Xiu touched to cause this burn was not a saint, and most definitely supernatural. As much as he was curious about what exactly happened to Xiu, he knew that the white Sigel needed a lot of rest for now. He could ask later when Xiu is feeling better.
Having cleaned the wound, he applied antiseptic and a foul smelling cream onto the wound generously. Xiu's finger twitched slightly as he applied the cream, but nothing else happened thankfully. He bandaged Xiu's hand afterwards and he was done. Standing up he cleaned up the examination table and buttoned up Xiu's vest, and then pulling off his lab coat he placed it over Xiu's body, acting as a blanket. He will need to get him a proper blanket later. Looking silently over Xiu's unconscious form, he must admit that he didn't do too bad on his first try on a real patient.
Dressed only in his pajamas now, he wheeled around to face the other two Sigels. "He should be fine for now, don't worry. I'll contact Hazeline in the morning to inform her about Xiu." Then he directed his golden gaze towards Rivener. "What about you? Do you want me to call Aphismet to come and pick you up? I think it is still too early for the bus right now, and it's difficult to hail a taxi around here."
