Adym nodded in response.

"Thank you." he replied.

The three of them then headed down the hall... with Adym being a little quicker than Karivyn, and stopped at the door in question.

"Hello?" Adym said, knocking on it.

"Is... anyone in there?" he asked further.

There was silence for a moment, before the door was opened by Kai.

"...hey." he said.

Sara was silent for a moment, looking to Kai.

".... What's wrong?" She asked after a moment or two, probably leaving the other two out as she jumped back to her natural laguage.

"What..... what happened...?" Followed a couple of seconds later. She could see it in his face. Something had happened.

Kai looked back at Sara, and sighed quietly.

"...she's sick." he replied.

"She got sick while we were swimming here." he told her.

"She almost drowned, couldn't keep an ice platform up, and she's got a very high temperature." he explained.

"I could feel it off of her when I came here." he went on.

"...so yeah... she's very sick..."

Sara just climbed off of Karivyn and stood at the door that he hadn't opened fully yet.

"Let me see if I can take some of the heat out." She stated.

"I'm heat in and of itself... I should be able to help...."

Kai nodded.

"Sure." he replied.

He then opened the door more fully, and the three of them saw Callie in a bed.

And she looked pale as anything.

"Callie!" Adym exclaimed.

"What happened!?" he asked Kai.

"She got sick." Kai responded. "Quickly."

Sara made her way over to Callie without a word and crawled up on the bed next to her.

".... Her fever is really high." She commented before doing what she could to remove the heat from Callie.

"What made her sick though? She... she's so cold, you wouldn't think she could GET sicl."

Kai shook his head.

"I don't know for sure." he replied.

"I mean... well... the water was cold, yeah, but... that shouldn't have been a problem. Not for her, anyway." he said.

"I just know that she was injured when one of the drakes picked her up in its clawed feet, and then it dropped her when she froze its foot and smashed it." he explained to her further.

"Hence the bandages on her shoulders." he then commented.

"But yeah, I... I just... the one in charge of healing here is doing their best."

Sara was silent before pausing. She'd heard stories of what she could see. The slight glow on Callie skin around and under the bandages, along with what she could feel from them.

There was no way, right? Rumours were that they were dead. Or at least last she'd heard from home.

She shook her head before just drawing out the heat, causing her own face to flush pretty noticeably,as well.

"...is there anything we can do to save her...?" Sara asked kai, knowing he was the one that could understand her for the moment.

Kai was silent for a moment, and bit his lower lip.

"I don't know." he admitted.

"The medic here is doing all they can, but I think they can only do so much." he told her.

"We'll know more, soon." he then said.

"I think we can do something to save her, but... if we can, it won't be HERE." he went on.

"I don't think this port city has any real resources for that." he sighed.

"We don't." a new voice said from the doorway.

"Sorry, the door was open still." They added as they stepped in, closing the door behind them.

"However, I do know where she can get the help that is needed. I do not have the capabilities to do myself." When they turned to look, they saw a rather curvy tall woman standing there, jaw length black hair that was clipped back and off her face on the right, and a side swept fringe the other way. She had black eyes, but that could have just been lighting, as well.

"However, those that could hope to help, are somewhere around a week out, and I fear she won't last a week waiting here."

Kai narrowed his eyes when the woman said what she did.

"Then we'll go THERE." he told her.

"We'll take Callie to where she can be treated." he said further.

"I don't care how. We'll find a way." he vowed.

However, no sooner had he said that, did he find himself wondering how they would get there. Travel wouldn't be easy with Callie indisposed as she was. And he couldn't just carry her like he had in the water.

And putting her on Karivyn's back probably wouldn't be much better for her health.

"I am quite certain they already know of your impending arrival." She stated calmly.

"Also, hello. You can call me Lyrei." She added, figuring a name would be nice.

"I know Kai, and the unconscious one is Callie, but ... might I have your names as well?" She asked, her voice polite.

"Ah, and I have already arranged for travel. Kind of."

Kai was silent for a moment, before shaking his head a little.

"Ah, right." he said. "I'm Kaitim. Most call me 'Kai'." he introduced himself.

"My name's Adymir. Though 'Adym' works fine." Adym chimed in.

"I am Karivyn Hallowfen." Karivyn said, fully introducing himself.

Kai then looked at Sara, before shaking his head a little.

"She's very shy around new people, so she might not introduce herself until she knows you better." he told Lyrei.

"...and you've already 'kind of' arranged for travel?" he then asked, wondering what THAT meant, exactly.

"I already knew who you were, Kai." Lyrei commented before shrugging lightly.

"And yes. I have. A means of travel, however, it will require Karivyn's help." She added, looking to the centaur.

"Kai mentioned that he would be travelling with a centaur, so I took it upon myself to arrange for a cart of sorts." She told him honestly.

"... assuming you are all right being the one pulling it. I apologise for being presumptuous."

Karivyn nodded in response.

"I have done so in the past for various reasons." he responded. "It is not beneath me at all to pull such a vehicle. In face, I would consider it rather an honour to be doing so, if it helps you all, and helps protect her." he continued, looking at, and referring to, Sara.

"As long as it's functional and comfortable." he then added.

"It wouldn't do for it to be rough or awkward for young Callie." he reasoned.

"Though, I am certain you have already thought of this, so my apologies for such a presumption of a lack of foresight on your behalf." he then added, apologising at the end and bowing slightly towards her.

That was the thing about centaurs. They were aggressive and abrasive when they felt slighted or threatened, but overall, they were very courteous and polite to other races.

Lyrei just laughed lightly.

"Don't worry about it. I'm a medic, of course I know to take care." She commented.

"I am also reasonably certain it will be large enough for the entire collection. The only snag that you all might have, is that it would be best if I went with. I ... doubt you all can keep what I have done, active." She said, not saying anything in specific about what she'd done. Sara, meanwhile, looked to Callie's shoulder though.

Adym just sighed heavily.

"We can trust her." Kai told him. "She's helped Callie, and I'm fairly certain she's the only reason that Callie's still even alive right now." he added.

"Whatever it takes." Adym responded, before pausing.

"Are you suggesting that you come with us?" he then asked.

"Merely seeking clarification. As if it means that Callie continues to survive, and you are all right right with it, then I am fine with you coming with us." he reasoned.

"I have no issues with it, either." Karivyn stated.

"And I'm all right with it, too." Kai chimed in.

Lyrei nodded.

"Good to hear." She said.

"Well, I assume you lot would like to get a move on quickly." She then said.

"Allow me to get changed into something more fitting for travel, and make sure that everything regarding Callie is good for the moment, and we can head out." She paused a moment, thinking.

"Should take naught but five minutes." With that, she left the room, heading back to where she'd been staying. After she was gone, Sara looked to Kai as he was the only one - aside from Lyrei - that could properly understand her.

"I trust her." Was all she said, knowing that some confirmation would likely be good.

"She's one of us."

Kai was silent for a moment, processing what had just been told to him. He looked at her, and then checked back at the door.

"...really?" he asked quietly.

"She is?" he asked her.

"How do you know?" he then asked further.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you trust her. Makes things a lot easier, but... how do you know she's like us?" he asked her again.

"What tipped you off?"

Sara didn't say anything before motioning to Callie's shoulder.

"The runes on her skin." She commented.

"They're rare. Most don't even know how to use them properly." She added.
