Aww, the extent to which she's excited about that is really great. 

Permalink

Eventually Vanyel starts stirring again. 

Permalink

:Maybe we send Lissa for some broth now and then let him wake up soon?: 

Permalink

:Yeah, sounds good:

Permalink

Lissa is dispatched shortly later, and returns with broth and a junior Healer bringing Vanyel's next dose of pain-drugs. 

Permalink

The Healer does a quick assessment. :He's doing better, physically, but he does badly need some nourishment sooner or later. Maybe tomorrow he'll be well enough for solid food: 

Permalink

:We'll see how much we can get into him while I'm blocking him. Any recommendations for food to prioritize stuffing into him? Naively I'd think some kind of meat would be most efficient, but I'm not any kind of healer:

Can they gently wake Vanyel up? Maybe they can have Tylendel do it. Tylendel, will you please gently wake up your boyfriend?

Permalink

The Healer thinks he'll benefit most from something easy to eat, since he's likely to still feel tired and weak. For his first meal they can make up a sort of egg-custard for him with cream and honey, and if he manages that then yes, well-stewed meat cut into small pieces for him would get lots of nutrition his body needs.

Tylendel takes a deep breath, and pats his boyfriend's shoulder. "Van? Van, ashke, can you wake up a little...?" 

Permalink

"Mmm?" Vanyel's eyes flicker open, unfocused at first, then finding Tylendel with visible relief. 

Permalink

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

Permalink

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

Permalink

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. 

Permalink

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

Permalink

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

Permalink

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. 

Permalink

: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." 

Permalink

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.

Permalink

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. 

Permalink

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.

Permalink

: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: 

Permalink

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.

Permalink

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: 

Permalink

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?:

Permalink

: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:
