Tylendel squeezes his shoulder. "It's all right, ashke, you're doing fine. You need to try to drink some broth." 

Don't mind the mesmer, she'll just be over here, doing her Blackout chain of spells on Van. Again. Whee. So fun.

Tylendel coaxes broth into Vanyel as fast as humanly possible, while Savil explains to him what she's going to do and that he might or might not notice a weird feeling in his head but it shouldn't hurt him. 

Vanyel would prefer none of this be happening, actually, but he nods his acquiescence to the poking-in-his-head plan. 

So Savil does, and is silent for a couple of minutes. 

Vanyel does feel something, and makes a face, but it indeed doesn't hurt. He lets the Healer give him his dose of drugs, so that it'll start taking effect as soon as possible. 

:Done: Savil says finally. :Whew. Tell you in a minute: "Van, ke'chara," she uses the affectionate term absently, "you can try to sleep now, all right? You have a lot of Gifts, but we can talk about all of that later once you're feeling better." 

Vetareh gives a little nod. She is kind enough to finish up the Blackout chain instead of just stopping immediately when his Gifts are all checked out and when he's got as much broth as possible into him. Next time she's forced to stop, that'll be it, but she can at least give the drugs time to take effect.

Vanyel is still close enough to awareness to grimace and moan when the pain comes back, but the drugs are already kicking in, and with some reassuring hair-stroking from Tylendel and wordless soothing by Yfandes, he goes to sleep within a few minute. 

Hooray! It's a pity that using Blackout on Van means that she wasn't able to see what checking Gifts actually looks like, but oh well. Probably at some point, she'll get to see what that looks like, magically speaking.

:Well, that seemed to work rather well, I think: sends Vetareh, cheerfully. She is polite enough to not immediately shake Savil down for answers on what Gifts he has, but gosh. She's so curious.

:Well: Savil sends after a minute or so of collecting herself. :I have never seen one person with so many Gifts, and his mage-gift is - really, really terrifyingly strong. Much stronger than mine. It's going to be incredibly dangerous until he's trained, and...: She looks worried. :I'm not sure we can train him until he's healed. His channels are a mess in there, no wonder he's hurting so much: 

Vetareh gives a very serious nod, looking a little pained. 'Very powerful' sounds to her like 'likely to be leveraged,' which does not sound like a very good time for Vanyel at all.

:Do you know of anything or anyone that might be able to help heal them faster? If not, the best idea I've got is trying to figure out how to enchant something to dupe my Blackout spell. But I know artificing (the making of objects that are consciously used by a person), not enchanting (the making of objects that are more isolated/made to respond to outside stimuli and make rudimentary decisions on their own), so I think it'd take me a while at best and be untenable at worst. Since if I just followed principles of artificing he'd need to (constantly have it mentally activated), which he couldn't do while asleep even if I did get it to work. Not to mention, trying to interface with a strange foreign magic thing will probably jostle his Gifts/magic at all, which would make artificing actively unhelpful. So I'd need to rederive enchanting complicated enough for an already complicated spell from first principles, which...: Would take decades if she were a genius, even with her understanding of the basic first principles and some of the later logic. Unfortunately Vetareh cannot just arbitrarily solve all problems put in front of her.

Savil is really tired and didn't follow most of that at all! She rubs her eyes. :Um, our Healers can't do much because they can't see channels. I can, but can't do anything about them: 

She's aware she's making a pest of herself, but she doesn't quite care. There is a problem in front of her and she wants to solve it and if other people are tired then they should go to bed.

:There isn't anyone who can do both? Can you, uh - do a closer mind link, letting Healers see through your magical eyes?:

:Er, it's possible but people here aren't as comfy with concert work, the Tayledras do it all the time but–: 

Savil freezes. 

:Oh. Gods. I'm an idiot. I didn't even think... Moondance is a Healing-Adept. That literally means he has both. He...might be able to fix it: Then she droops again. :But they're in the Pelagirs. Hundreds of miles away: 

:You are not an idiot,: thinks Vetareh firmly, with the sincerity that can only really come through over a mind-link, :You are admittedly tired and maybe need some rest to get all of your brain fully functioning, but you are not an idiot. Now. Is that too far to Gate to them, and if so, why? Maybe I with my meta-magic shenanigans can help:

Savil takes a deep breath. :...The first part is that I think strong magic near him will hurt him a lot, right now. But I guess you can Blackout him for it. k'Treva is within my range, just barely - I can make it if I've had a good night's sleep, I think. The third problem is that they'll have moved the Vale and I don't know where the new one is, so I'll have to Gate to near the old one and then use my talisman to call them. In the meantime I'll be very tired and Van will be helpless, and the Pelagirs are pretty dangerous: 

:Does it need to just be the two of you?: She totally wants to come, but admittedly Tylendel is probably a much better bet, considering. Sending the boyfriend with the infirm one, and all. Though Vetareh herself would be useful with Blackout, so, hm...

:Well, I mean, I should bring Tylendel, but he's not fully trained...: Pause. :Oh, are you offering to come?: 

:Yes, if you and they wouldn’t mind, it sounds fascinating! ... and also I could be very useful, with my ability to cut off his magic: But that second part is justification after the fact, not the reason.

:We would appreciate that so much! I know it's a lot to ask, but...: Savil doesn't even seem to be considering that Vetareh is volunteering mostly out of innate curiosity rather than commitment to helping. 

Oh man, stay here and figure out a complicated logistics problem that she doesn't have enough context for and will probably crush lots of toes in trying to solve, or go running off on an adventure to meet a fancy healer? Yeah that's really not a question. She'll be busy no matter which she goes with, but she will pick the one that doesn't involve telling lots of other people she thinks they are dumb. Probably she can just tell Lancir what she thinks about the thing, and give examples of how it worked back in Orr, and maybe someone with actual respect, authority, and understanding of the situation can make that happen.

:It's really not. What are the dangers of the Pelagirs, are we talking dangerous weather, or monsters that will try to slice us to bits, set us on fire, or drive us insane or something? Or something else entirely, I suppose:

:Monsters of various sorts, mostly, though it'll also be cold, it's further north. The wild magic of the land twists the native wildlife. There are Changecreatures that can turn invisible, or have some innate magic - colddrakes can hypnotize other creatures with their eyes...: Savil describes a few other Pelagirs beasties they might encounter. 

She takes notes, then once Savil’s finished, she sends:

:So lots of weird quirky magical one offs that can easily disrupt the unawares, but ultimately all of the monsters will want to kill us by directly menacing us. Okay, I can work with that. With Blackout, even:

Though maybe not both parts of the echo chain, she’ll leave the lesser spell for it by the wayside. It’ll mean the gaps in Van coverage will be a touch longer, but ultimately that’s less important than keeping everyone alive. Also it simplifies the amount of background work she’ll be doing by quite a bit. She starts figuring out which spells she’d like to take, adding more letters to the floating violet notes brigade. Actually, how about she just shrinks the notes on Gifts to tuck on the inside of her sleeve, to clear a bit more room in the air for these new notes to herself for figuring out how she’ll not die in the wilderness.

:How do you do that notes trick?: Savil asks, curious. :Does it last after you're done with the spell?:
