Chryrie returned from the Inn in her usual puff of dust outside. She looked up at the dark building that was House Helston for a few moments before making her way up the steps and through the door.
Jade was sitting in the main room, reading a book while keeping watch over Kitty. The couch had been altered via magic to be wider and more comfortable for the ill moredhel. Kitty was sprawled across it, entangled in sweat drenched sheets. The IV that Chryrie had hooked up to her was silently dripping it's contents into her bloodstream. Chryrie checked the time, then picked up a syringe, shoving more medicine into the IV to help with the fever. It was becoming less and less effective anymore, but it was all she could do at the moment.
Once the medical details were dealt with, she settled next to Kitty, her fingers weaving through Kitty's sweaty hair to magically clean and dry it. The whole time she spoke to her as if carrying on a conversation.
"I saw Luse tonight. He said he would stop by and give you a good talking to. I dare say you need it. Maybe a few words from him will get you to start fighting this, hmm? Sid gave me a few things to try. Perhaps they'll have some impact on this sickness. She told me to tell you to get better soon. And Scottie even sent you something. See? He let me take one for you. That's saying something. I thought he always insisted people get their own. " She tied the soft ribbon of various greens around Kitty's wrist gently.
"Tasha and Taneth sent you flowers. They're very pretty. I have them preserved for you so you can see them when you're better. " She paused a few moments. She glanced to Jade, then looked back to her sister who's eyes seemed like they were slightly open.
"When I talked to Luse, I suggested taking you elsewhere. We both think having you stay at the Blood House Onyx for awhile might be better than staying here. I know you're partial to this Helston place, but there you have more family around you. They might be able to do more than I can. And right now you need to be someplace safer than I can provide." Her voice cracked as she said the last sentence. She stopped talking as she tried to regain her composure, but failed. She just crumpled up next to Kitty and let the tears flow in jerky sobs.
Jade watched quietly for a few moments, but said nothing. Eventually she moved from her seat and headed upstairs. The noises that came from Kitty's bedroom could only be interpreted as Jade packing some of Kitty's things.
After awhile Chryrie calmed and wiped the tears from her face as she sat back up. She gently wiped sweat from Kitty's face with a cool moist cloth as she sniffled and worked on her composure.
"We'll get you healthy again, Kits. You just have to fight for it too."
