The injuries Mag had sustained in the previous day's battle were made to look far more alarming than they were by their surroundings: the whiteness of her bedsheets and the walls of the clinic, the sight of healers walking up and down the corridors to see their next patient. Her recovery, she had been assured, would be complete, and in any case she had lived through far worse; it was not herself she was concerned about. For once, Kiernan seemed to have kept himself in one piece (a promise she and Lavitz had extracted from him upon his discharge some weeks ago, and a difficult one to keep in their line of work). It was the crease between his eyebrows as he sat in the visitor's chair by the bed that concerned her. She was glad that this situation was not playing out as it usually did, that for once it was her turn to be injured, instead of those she cared about. "I'll be fine," she told him for the third time since he had arrived. "You don't need to look so grim." He would fuss—but she could not begrudge him that, when she had so often been guilty of the same. |
