She reaches out a hand and places it delicately on the wing of the first little one that was brought in, and delves into the precise working of the limb. Carefully, delicately, she threads power into the wing and its partner. "I did something experimental," she tells the baby. "Try flying--I don't know if it will work, but try."

The baby frowns and nods and jumps and flaps.

One of the bones in his wing dislocates.

But he stays aloft.
Permalink

The babies are all SO EXCITED and all want to be next. Jensal picks one to be next.

Permalink

This is very, very tricky. Some of the injuries are worse than a dislocation. ...Some of them need to be healed and try again, because they hurt themselves in a way that makes flying intractable.

Permalink

She's starting with the older ones and they don't care at all if they're broken or dislocated they want to FLY NOW PLEASE MAGIC HUMAN.

Permalink

She's working on it! She's working on it as fast as she can!

Permalink

Well, as she lets the babies fly, she can stop painkilling them. The esu vanishes in an instant once they're flying.

Permalink

Once she has--room--she grabs the littler ones again.

Permalink

They are pleased and accept being lined up for their turns. Jensal calls a light. And Ehail again.

Permalink

A light? ...She's just been healing them herself. They should totally get more babies in here, though, that's a good idea.

Permalink
Ehail ferries babies one at a time to and from the Kep Island house. Healings can wait for the light if it means Odette can get babies in the air any faster.

When all the Kep Island babies have been flown she resumes her trip to Corenta.
Permalink

Corenta: totally the place where her sister is! Her sister who is also a mage!

Permalink

...can her sister fly babies? They could just tell her where the house is and Ehail can go to Tenebirokalamikikek instead.

Permalink

Her sister is unlikely to be able to do anesthetic but can totally fly babies.

Permalink

Flying babies is the important part. They provide the location of the Corentan house and redirect Ehail.

Permalink

Er, she's not actually in contact with her sister until sunset.

Permalink

...what happens at sunset?

Permalink

The wizard who teleported her here from Corenta comes to pick her up.

Permalink

She could just go to the station and call a wizard over early.

Permalink

Okay, yeah.

Permalink

Before she goes she is thanked profusely for flying the babies. By babies and adult shrens both.

Permalink

She wasn't just going to let babies keep hurting, not if she could do anything about it, she's not a monster.

Permalink

Well, they thank her anyway.

Permalink

They're welcome. Back to Corenta.
