Do you need more time, then? I will do my best not to keep you from your own rest and recovery. [ And he supposes that her need is far greater than his. After all, he has done a great deal of sleeping. Never mind that much of his time spent tempering was less sleep and more of an exhausted stupor. Still, he is not the one who expended a great deal of aether in the process.
Still, he does not hesitate to lie down and then move as he has been asked to position his head in her lap. He would be lying if he said that it did not feel good to lie here in such a way with her tending to his wound that seems destined to be a permanent thorn in his side. ]
There are many who are safe, as you have seen. And fortune seems to have been with them for the most part, in that nearly all of them are whole and unhurt. But there are still those who are not so fortunate, as you have seen.
Handeloup and I fear that there may be casualties out there in the elements, and if not that, then there will certainly be injured. [ Not to mention those who are enthralled by the primal.
If she is looking, she may very well note fear in his eyes. He may not remember every detail of his curing, but it is not difficult for him to imagine that it took a great deal of effort to rid him of his enthrallment. ]
I would see all who are still lost and not yet brought to safety taken care of, enthralled or not, and yet I fail to see how they might be cured as I was. To cure one person, or even two, is considerably different than attempting to cure a multitude.
[ And although he cannot be sure just how many Ishgardians may yet be lost out there, he fears the number will be too great for them to manage. The thought that they may have to be slain rather than restored to themselves only causes his simmering distress to rise. ]
Tomorrow, as soon as I am able, I mean to resume the search. You ought to remain behind where it is safe and where you are within reach of those who may yet need your gifts. Provided, that is, that you also have rested and recovered sufficiently.
[ Because it has not escaped his notice that she also is not well. ]
