"Food's here." Kendall heard a knock on the door. He went over and received a rolling tray of nicely presented drinks. "Thank you." He gave a healthy tip to the staff before they departed.

"Oh, good..." Ebony smiled tiredly as she accepted the drink. Even though she looked relaxed, there were subtle clues that the Viper was still tensed up.

Kendall gave Ebony a nuzzle. "Need a rub?"
Dr. Scott started his work on Daniel's arm as soon as the anesthetic took effect, swabbing the area clean, then identifying the site to be drained. With a scalpel, he made an incision and then squeezed with two alcohol-soaked cotton balls buffering his fingers from direct contact with the skin. What came out into Mia's kidney tray was an evil-smelling mixture of blood and pus, and the stench carried outside the confines of the small clinic for a time. Misty wrinkled her upper lip and retreated to the junction with the main portal corridor.
"I had no idea there was anything that could smell worse than poop." Dawn held a tissue over her nose.

"I think I just need sleep..." sighed Ebony, "It's been a long day for me..."
"Maybe we should leave you alone then," said Ricardo, standing up, "You don't need us crowding you now."
"No, don't leave..." pleaded the Viper, "What if I have a bad dream...?"

Delfina covered her nose with the sleeve of her sweater, "Ugh, no kidding."

"I'll be here." Kendall settled down beside Ebony.
"Oh, thank God." Dawn looked up as the ventilation increased. "I'm gagging here. Misty had the right idea." The usually busy corridor was almost deserted now.
Aron was still standing by the door, hand over his nose and mouth, daring the odd peek inside. "I think that's the last of it. They're irrigating it now."

"You guys stay too, please..." Ebony looked tiredly at Ricardo and Phoenix and Ricardo.
"Alright, we will," Ricardo nodded and looked at Phoenix.

Delfina could only nod at this, feeling a little sick herself.

"Wouldn't think of leaving," Phoenix said as she settled down on the floor and chirping to Gryffin to get him back to her.

"I'll go get some extra nightcovers," Ricardo said and went and did just that, going over to the closet and pulling out an extra sleeping pad and a couple of nightcovers. He brought them back over and lay the pad next to Ebony's and then spreading the nightcovers out. "We don't have to sleep on the carpet now," he told Phoenix.
Ebony watched this with tired eyes and smiled a bit.

Dr. Scott applied several yards of wound packing to the site of Daniel's infection, then a dressing. "That's everything for now." Above him, an IV bag steadily dripped Vancomycin into him.
"It's done." Mia said to Aron, Delfina and Dawn. "We'll keep an eye on him and see how it goes. His temperature's gone down a bit, so it's possible the fever's broken."
Kendall yawned and snuggled beside Ebony, pulling a double night cover over them both.
<<< Last post for me too. G'night >>>

Delfina nodded, "I hope this helps."
*****
Ebony snuggled close against Kendall underneath the nightcovers with the twins curled up in the space between her left fender spike and her cheek and closed her eyes, falling asleep a few minutes later.
Ricardo settled onto the pad and beckoned Phoenix and Gryffin over, then threw the nightcover over the both of them. He gave Phoenix a nuzzle. "Love you. Buonas noches."

Aron was visibly reliefed. It had been a trying day and well into the evening.
"Liska, you should stay with him overnight if you want." He said. While he did want to stay at the clinic, he knew that Liska had more rights for it, as they were together and she carrying their kid. "We both don't need to be there at the same time."
Aron thanked Scott for his work, looked quickly at Daniel and the monitors, while he admitted he didn't know what significance the pace in the heartbeat or fever level was to the recovery. After checking things over, with Daniel sleeping and recovering, he went to the cafe to get some late dinner.
"Hey Delfina. Thanks for not trying Daniel's luck by trying to heal him." He said. He had also thought about the idea that if Daniel reacted badly to telepathy, he may do the same to other kind of magic.

"Uh huh, sure," nodded Delfina, but she abruptly turned away, "I'm going to bed now. Goodnight."
She walked quickly away toward her room, her emotions hidden. The apparent turndown of her abilities stung her, even though it wasn't intentional. She was starting to feel useless as she shut the door to her room and sat down on her bed, staring at nothing.

Wait what? What did I do wrong? Aron thought hurt. It was quite clear Delfina didn't want to talk to him. Dammit I love you, but why the hell do you have to yank on my chain like that all the effing time? Aron's appetide quickly dropped but he was in no mood for some sleep, or to be in Liska's way in the clinic.

"Whoah, what happened?" Misty asked as she returned. Dawn looked on with the same wonderment.
Liska took a cot by Daniel's bedside, and settled down for the night.
Kendall drifted off to sleep at Ebony's side.
