"How do you feel?" I ask quietly, leaning towards her, able to see her better now in the dawn light that streams through the windows.

He frowns at me, sending me a little pulse of worry that I didn't sleep, and then passing me some magic energy. I grin, quite pleased as he steps close enough to the bed that I can lean against him.

"Jess, let her sleep, she can answer that -"

They must have come from someone else." "A gift from the God of Death?" I ask, turning up my face to Jackson, curious. He shrugs down at me. "Or Life. I don't know."
