E-mail: Beast to Critic To: [ Roseveldt, Eleanor ] From: [ McCoy, Henry ] Subject:Emergency
Ellie:
When you come for dinner tonight I am afraid I'll have to put you to work. I have in my care two of your strays: namely, St. John and Marie Allerdyce. They're in decidedly poor shape ("critical condition" is a bit more accurate) and while under normal circumstances I would invite you to transfer them back home, I would insist that you allow them to remain here to receive the rest of their care. We have a healer on staff who will no doubt greatly assist in healing John's badly broken hand, which traditional medicine would certainly not be able to heal.
I would like you to take a look at both of them while you're here. I hate to have you work, but I think they might appreciate the check-in and perhaps a few kind words from an ally, whether or not they actually have met you yet.
