It would be nice to pass on the knowledge to someone else, someone who didn't have the feel of innocence about them, like Malak had, John didn't feel like he would backslide into the darkside.

Kytana sat up a little straighter when he sat up and groaned in pain. "You lay back, get comfortable. You don't have to hurt for this part. But this is were I need you to watch my back more than when I dipped into your mind. To repair the damage done I will have to set my soul focus on you, and it will be a deeper meditative state. If he comes, do everything in your power to wake me. Even if it comes down to striking me." She gave him a little cheeky smile. "But do try other things before that, it is rather shocking to come out of a deep healing meditation by being slapped." It had happened before, and had been unpleasant. "Stretch out, have a smoke, and get comfortable." He had much more damage than Dan had when she'd healed him. And far more than Cuddy had when House had asked her to heal her.
