There aren't a lot of uninjured areas to work with, but he does seem calmed by her touch.

"I'm sorry he's so out of it," Shavri says quietly. "We've been giving him a lot of drugs, he's so miserable otherwise. He's burned over two-thirds of his body - we don't even know what happened, everyone else with him was unconscious and he wasn't very coherent when the rescue party found him - but we think he might've been caught in the fire and injured, and then ignored it and kept going for another couple candlemarks, it wasn't safe to stop in the middle of the Heartstone thing. And we're really short on Healers so he's mostly stuck healing the natural way, I'm just dropping in every couple candlemarks to stave off infection. Have to go in a minute and check on all my other patients." 

"I can work on him. And other people once he's less distracting." She gets underway on that.

Leareth is trying so hard to wake up, despite the gluey haze of drugs gumming up his mind. And the fact that being awake is really miserable right now; he doesn't stop being in pain even when he's asleep but at least he cares less about it. 

Belrun's there, though. He wanted to tell her something, it was important, he - can't remember - maybe if he wakes up more he'll remember it - 

:Hey love. I'm here. You'll start getting better faster now, I think you'll make a full recovery:

He can only sort of follow the words, and being Mindspoken to hurts his head, but that's fine. 

:Did it: he manages finally. :Heartstone. Done: 

:Yeah, you did it:

Which has some other implication, Leareth thinks it's important, but he's too drowsy to think and can't trace the rest of that thread, and after a few failed attempts where he loses his train of thought entirely, he's starting to get pretty frustrated. 

:Try to relax? You'll be able to think and talk better once you're more healed. The fires are all out and I'm fine and you're going to be fine:

Leareth is still having trouble parsing the content of what she's saying, and annoyed about it, but eventually the reassurance gets through. He stops trying to be awake.

Once he's deeply asleep, the lifebond leakage is still present but a lot less distracting. Leareth's body is young and healthy, and responds well to Belrun's Healing efforts. A lot of what's holding him back is just that he's still incredibly drained from the Heartstone work, and has nearly no reserves. 

Well, she practiced sending Amshalan some. She can try that here too.

That works! Even though Leareth is asleep and not helping at all on his end, the lifebond connection goes deep enough that she can just sort of shove energy through to him; it's even easier than with Amshalan. 

He doesn't wake up from her efforts, but his colour improves noticeably. 

Oh good.

Her plan is to sit here healing him till she'll do more good than harm crawling into bed next to him and passing out.

She's going to run into the limit of how much Healing his body can handle at once before she gets everything, but with a few candlemarks of hard work, she can Heal him to the point where his scabbed-over burns are less fragile and Belrun snuggling up with him probably won't hurt as long as she's gentle. 

:I think it'll do him good even if you're sleeping: Amshalan sends her, from the tent she's found elsewhere that has grain for her. She's ravenous after their long day of riding. :The lifebond means you'll passively send him some energy even when you're not awake: 

:That's the hope: And she gets in beside Leareth and gently curls up against him and is out like a light.

Candlemarks later, Leareth wakes up to nighttime darkness when one of the rotating Healers checks on him, and asks for water and more pain drugs in a whisper, so as not to wake Belrun. He's not finding the pain intolerable anymore, but it's still not fun and he's worried about disturbing Belrun's rest via lifebond-leakage.

He manages, very carefully, to turn half onto his side and drape his bandage-wrapped arm around her before he dozes off again. 

She doesn't wake up, just keeps murmuring.

Leareth is on the receiving end of a steady trickle of energy along the lifebond. He starts waking up a bit before dawn, as the pain-drugs wear off, and for the first time in days feels sort of rested. 

He doesn't ask for more drugs; at this point it's bearable without, at least for a little while, and he would rather be able to think. He is getting steadily more uncomfortable and at some point it'll inevitably wake Belrun. 

"Mrrg." She shifts around, yawns, checks him over. "So you had an exciting time."

"Suppose so. It was kind of a blur for me." He moves to sit up and then winces. "- Ow." 

"Yeah don't do that. I'm working on it." She works on it. "I had an exciting time too but nobody died."

"Lucky you." Leareth bites down a groan as she nudges one of his healing burns. "- I wonder if it was a strategic error on Their part, splitting Their forces? If Iftel had sent gryphons after us while we were trying to handle the fires, I think we would have failed, but - instead Vkandis focused on killing you while it seems the Star-Eyed kept Her attention here." 

"Well, they have advantages in specific locations, maybe they didn't have much choice."

"Maybe." Sigh. "We - lost a great deal, doing this. But we did it."
