"Well, yes and no. As long as out of bed doesn't mean out of this room, you can miraculously recover and then stick around until your week is up, and I can say my low estimate was right and send you home. I've already been keeping a close eye on you in case somebody tried to shoot you again; if I keep doing that, there'll be no reason for anybody else to wander in unannounced and see you acting suspiciously healthy."

"That would be lovely. I suppose it would be too much to ask that this... set of circumstances... also constitutes a safe way to figure out why his blood works that way for the advancement of medical science, wouldn't it."

"Could be. Can't promise anything. It might not be a question I can answer by myself, and I'm not about to draw attention by getting anyone else involved. But we'll see. You want to do that now? I'll go get you what you need."

"Now would be nice. I would like to be able to move again."

She is still holding Lalita's hand! What a convenient way to inquire if he is hurt after all the flinging-around. He doesn't look it, but perhaps it is not visually obvious.

Nah, he's just fine. Dr. Hall was only very briefly trying to kill him; after those first few moments, they were both holding back. He's a little sore but not significantly impaired.

Good. She would not want to siphon off his magic blood if he needed all of it.

Nope! She is welcome to as much of his magic blood as she needs. (He doesn't expect it'll take that much; Dr. Hall did good work.)

He did! She is pretty comfy as long as she doesn't move anything above the elbows/waist. But that's a pretty annoying constraint.

Maybe Dr. Hall will be able to determine what it is about Lalita (that was apparently doable with technology available in the nineteen hundreds, albeit near the turn of the century) that is so very magic, and then appropriate synthetic equivalents will be standard issue and if she is shot in public again it'll be fixable much quicker.

Well that would be convenient.

Dr. Hall returns with appropriate supplies, assists in transferring some of Lalita's blood to Isabella and some to vials for him to study, and leaves. Apparently his talkative mood was a strictly temporary condition.

Isabella holds her husband's hand and heals.
