Nayoki reaches the room, pushed in a wheelchair by Krystal with a portable monitor in her lap; Krystal immediately abandons her to join all the other nurses in the room. 

:What's wrong with him?: she asks. :Belrun is driving in the car back with Loreen now: 

:Bad allergic reaction, probably to meds - can you ask Belrun if that's ever happened to him before - or if she's treated it in general - he's in shock and he's having more trouble breathing, if the drugs don't turn things around really fast we'll have to put the breathing tube back before his throat swells shut: 

:Oh. Oh no: 

Nayoki goes very still for a moment, and then reaches for Belrun again with Mindspeech and relays this. 

:I've never seen him have that reaction before. I've heard of it but haven't treated it myself in the past but can probably help some:

:How far away are you? He - this looks bad...: 

:I'm on my way, a few more minutes - if someone wants to meet me with a wheelchair and run me there instead of me trying to walk the whole way that might be faster:

Nayoki relays this to Marian. 

Who confers briefly with Alice. 

:I don't think any of us should leave but there are wheelchairs out front - Alice says Loreen can come up in the elevator, if Belrun can direct her: 

Nayoki passes this along. 

Leareth is very grateful for Marian's warning, because he feels INCREDIBLY WEIRD. He's a little more able to think than before, and it's somewhat easier to get air into his lungs, but his body is producing all the correlates of a panic-reaction to suddenly being under attack - his heart is thumping in his chest, he wants to hyperventilate, he's shaking uncontrollably and everything has the narrowed-down tunnel-focus feeling of an emergency - and at the same time his limbs feel much too heavy to move, and he's suddenly drowsy, which seems like it shouldn't be able to coexist with the panicked feeling but it does anyway.

At least his stomach is behaving better; he still feels sick, but it's easier to breathe when he's not retching up bile every thirty seconds, and it means Alice isn't constantly shoving the stupid suction thing in his face.

Marian is patting his arm again. :Leareth. Are you still with me: 

His vision is too blurry to make out her face, but he squeezes her hand. :Mmm. Belrun - where...?: 

:She's coming. She'll be here soon. You're going to be okay. Listen - we might have to put the breathing tube back, if you're having too much trouble, but we are NOT going to let you die: 

He really really doesn't want that. Leareth lies still, tries to ignore the inexplicable panic attack and uncontrollable tremors rippling through his whole body, and focuses on breathing. It's a lot of work for some reason, but he can do it. Until Belrun gets here, and then Belrun can do something... 

Belrun flings herself out of the car and looks for a helpful wheelchair operator.

There's a row of wheelchairs arranged just inside the glass automatic doors, and some people standing around in hospital uniforms who might or might not be available to help. 

Loreen doesn't follow her in; she swings around from the drop-off zone to go find parking. 

...wait for Loreen or walk, wait for Loreen or walk. ...Belrun elects not to wait for Loreen. She sets out at as brisk a walk as she can.

Fortunately it's not an incredibly busy day and she's able to get an elevator within seconds. 

The elevator, at least, is not any slower just because she's on foot.

She remembers the way acceptably well and gets off at the right floor and strides in.

Nayoki, of course, feels her coming. :I am so glad you are here! He seems not to be deteriorating further but it definitely looks bad: 

Leareth still can't reach her with Mindspeech when she's not yet in the same room, but he can feel her approach through the lifebond, and stretches out toward her. It's getting very hard not to actually panic, especially with his body already flinging every single panic signal at him. 

Calm down calm down calm down, she tries to shove it at him remotely till she can get to his bedside.

He's not calm, exactly, when she reaches him, but he seems in control, despite the fact that he's shaking all over, drenched in sweat and breathing fast and shallow, his pulse racing visibly both to Healing-Sight and on the screen above his head. Marian has him rolled all the way onto his side, which means that the blotchy red hives all across his back are visible; she's holding an oxygen mask close to his face and currently trying to vacuum up vomit. 

Leareth releases Marian's hand and reaches for Belrun. :Sorry. Trying - to stay calm - feel terrible -: 

Marian catches Belrun's eye with an expression of intense relief. :We're giving him fluids and drugs, his blood pressure's back up but it won't stay that way, the allergic reaction is going to keep coming back: 

Belrun lays her hand on the rash on his back to get in easy range and flails around for ways to make the allergic reaction shut up and sit down. :What is he allergic to?:
