“Dr, will Selene be all right?” I ask worriedly, speaking in hushed tones so as not to be overheard.

“She’s still unconscious.” Dr Kane replies, “She needs rest, and we’re still waiting on her lab work, but she’s young and healthy. As long as she takes care of herself she should be fine.”

Though both men stand at least a head taller than me, in that moment they look positively tiny. Donavon clears his throat. “Bastien told us to shield her from anything she didn’t need to know – so that she wouldn’t be stressed.”
