:Here: She shows a picture.

He's there a couple of minutes later, swooping down and mildly startling one of the lingering Healers. 

Ma'ar waves to him, nods and smiles wearily to Azabel, and trudges off in the direction of his room. 

Aza hauls herself up onto Skan and concentrates on sitting in the right position during the ride.

He deposits her back at her house. "Sshould I let you resst before I assk for the sstory?" 

"You can come in if you want and I will tell you while I flop in bed." She goes bedward.

Skan squeezes himself in as well - gryphons are big but surprisingly compressible, since a lot of their apparent bulk is feathers. He settles himself in a heap on the floor next to Azabel's bed. "Ssso? You were a hero?" 

"You could describe it like that! Somebody was working on something with steam under pressure, I'm not sure what it was or why. It caught fire somewhere it wasn't meant to and exploded, and injured a bunch of people - I don't think it killed anyone outright, though I'm not sure how good the head injury's prognosis is at Healers'. Ma'ar noticed and alerted me, and I got his location by Mindspeech while telling Lionwind Ma'ar needed help and I had to go, and I Gated down to where he was. Ma'ar's not good at Mindspeaking unGifted people and I am so I talked to the people inside about what the problem was and determined it was safe to open the door and let some steam and the people out, and I helped them out, and contacted Healers', and shielded the door against further possible explosions, while Ma'ar patched up the weak spots in the pressurized bits and put out the fire."

Skan makes impressed sounds throughout. "Wow! You were ssso brave! Wass it sscary?" 

"Not... very? It was stressful, but I was standing well back and only interacting with the situation via magic and I was shielded."

"Right. Because you were clever." Because Azabel is the VERY SMARTEST, in fact. 

"I wasn't going to run into a steam-filled room that was slightly on fire, not the least because I can't run!"

"That makess sensse. ...Do you need a ssnuggle? Or ssomething?" 

"If you wanna snuggle me that would be nice."

Skan can snuggle her! She's his best friend and he's very proud. 

She dozes off a bit with her hands in his feathers.

Staying still to avoid disturbing her is VERY HARD, but Azabel had a stressful day where she was a HERO, so Skan will valiantly stay still for as long as she needs him there. 

She naps for about an hour. "Oh, I was kind of imagining if I fell asleep you'd let yourself out, sorry..."

"- I can go now? If you want me to?" 

"You can stay, it just can't have been very interesting." Yawn. "I feel better now."

"Good!" Bounce. "I'm ssso proud of you!" 

"Aww, thank you. I wonder what they were doing with the steam..."

"I guesss you could go assk, later?" 

"I might, yeah, go swing by Healers' and see if they're okay and ask."

He cuddles up against her for a moment longer. "I sshould get back home, but - you're very good and I'm sso proud."
