:I showed off a sketch of the blobby cell that eats infectious microbes when it's doing its job, but I don't know if they're able to make much use of it:

:I know the one! Gemma probably can't but maybe Leareth's Healers can: Pause. :You're getting enough rest and food to eat?: 

:I had breakfast. I slept in. I'm not at my best but if I also have lunch and dinner and don't get woken up tonight I should be all right:

:That's good. Don't let Gemma push you too hard, it'll be awful if you come down with it too and you're the only one with the Fetching trick. Though I suppose it's possible Van could pull it off, he's got enough Healing-Sight and his Fetching control is good: 

:That's not a bad idea, I'll see if he wants me to teach him or something today:

:He's with Savil, I think, if you're looking for him later: 

:I heard:

But instead of physically finding him, she waits till she's having lunch, delivered from the kitchen and taken in a table-less chair next to a sleeping patient who won't object, and asks Amshalan to ask Yfandes if it's a good moment to ask Van something.

:Yfandes says now is fine, he's awake:

:Vanyel?:

:–Belrun! Gods, are you doing all right - this is such a disaster - Yfandes said Leareth is sick too...: 

:Yeah. I worked on him last night - I noticed he was warm when I got in bed - and he's still asleep, which is probably all to the good though if he's still down a few candlemarks past noon I may go bother him. Uh, you're the only other person around with the Healing/Fetching combination at all and it's useful for keeping people hydrated, do you want to learn it?:

:Really? Huh, how does that work? I'd be happy to try to learn it although I won't be nearly as good with my Healing-Sight as you are: 

:You don't need the microbe-level granularity, you just need to know where the stomach is. Or the intestines if they're throwing up, people can absorb some water from there. So far nobody's losing it at both ends:

:Oh. Right: Based on the overtones, Vanyel considers this 'too much information' and is mildly squicked out by it. :My Sight and my Fetching control should be good enough for that, I guess: 

:Is Savil doing okay enough that you can come here or should I go to you?:

:She seems to be doing better now, I think I can leave her if it won't be longer than half a candlemark - and Kellan can keep an eye on her and tell Yfandes if she seems worse again: 

:Shouldn't take that long:

Then Vanyel can head over to meet her at the infirmary. 

She's finished her lunch. She can't do melds but she can send images by Mindspeech, of the outline of the stomach as it appears to Healing-Sight, and demonstrate Fetches while she goes around the room and puts a drink in everyone who won't take one by mouth.

Vanyel thinks he can get the hang of it; should he try some too so she can watch and check? (The biggest obstacle is that he's squeamish and the idea kind of grosses him out, but he can ignore that when it's something this important.) 

"Yeah. Just a little at first, so it's not so bad if you miss."

Vanyel gives it a try on her next patient. He goes very slowly and carefully but does not miss. 

"Well done."

"Thanks! I'll try one more." He does a little more water, also gets it spot-on. 

"You've got it. I'll do everybody who won't keep it in their stomach, if you want to cover him, and her, and her -"
