"Zay... What time is it?.."
He held her, taking a breath as his chin rested on top of her head, voice still thick, shadows under his eyes. "A little after sunrise."

"A little after sunrise."
"Sunrise?" She echoes before it slowly dawns on her, stiffens, hand reaching up to brush her cheek, feels the warmth of the sun peeking through the window, gaze wavers "I thought it was nighttime.." she whispers, barely audible "But now I can feel it.."

"I thought it was nighttime.. But now I can feel it.."
He pulled back slightly, hands coming to rest on her cheeks, searching her face. With what he was gathering, he learned what had been in her system. "Avery. What happened?"

"Avery. What happened?"
Feeling his hands grasps her face, her eyes widen, raises her hands to slide them over his, closes them, face flashing with pain "I can't see you.." she whispers, barely audible "I can't see the sun.."

"I can't see you.. I can't see the sun.."
What he feared was true, and now he wasn't sure if he managed to give her the antidote in time. Taking a deep breath he kissed the top of her forehead, closing his eyes. Zay murmured, "The poison they used against you was one made from giant hogweed," he started. "I don't know how long it had been in your system, and I don't know if I had caught it in time." His voice lowered as he finished, a low rumble in his chest.

"The poison they used against you was one made from giant hogweed. I don't know how long it had been in your system, and I don't know if I had caught it in time."
"What is that?.." she whispers, voice cracking, hands squeezing his "What are the symptoms?... Do you know?..."

"What is that?.. What are the symptoms?... Do you know?..."
His eyes remained closed, brow furrowed. "Delerium, blindness, paralysis. If not countered, weakness and death," his voice fell to a whisper, brows creasing more deeply as he shoved the images from his head. "You're moving, and you're speaking, which are good signs." The words were meant as reassurance, though more so for himself as he fought to keep everything hidden away. And this is what happens. Always/

"Delirium, blindness, paralysis. If not countered, weakness and death. You're moving, and you're speaking, which are good signs."
"Paralysis?" she whispers, gaze filling with fear before she catches a small hitch in his voice, eyes widen, presses her hands against his more "No. X'zayvean. Don't do that. I can tell what you're doing." she murmurs, voice growing softer "You saved my life, which is more than I could have asked for."

"No. X'zayvean. Don't do that. I can tell what you're doing. You saved my life, which is more than I could have asked for."
Zay remained silent for some time, unmoving. Was it starting to become that noticeable? He stepped back, though made sure she wouldn't fall if she needed the support, clamming up as a defense mechanism. Quietly, he asked, "Are you hungry?" Enzo, who had been resting on the headboard, fluffed his feathers at Zay, but made no sound.

"Are you hungry?"
Gaze wavering with guilt when he says nothing, Avery pauses a moment when he finally does, hesitating, resting against him "Yes. But you need sleep. And I'm not sure I could walk, at the moment any way." she murmurs, voice quiet "Help me to the bed?"

"Yes. But you need sleep. And I'm not sure I could walk, at the moment any way. Help me to the bed?"
He guided her back to the bed, movements calculated. "I'll bring in what's left of the stew and a little bread." Once she was settled in, he stepped out of the room, fixing a bowl of the stew he fixed a night and a half ago, both for himself and Avery if she ever woke, bringing in the small bit of bread from his own rations as he stepped back to the bed. Zay carefully took her hands and placed the bowl in them, moving a chair over by the bed, though he was now keeping his distance again.

"I'll bring in what's left of the stew and a little bread."
Sitting when her leg brushes the mattress, she sighs softly, nodding at his words. Feeling him leave, she tilts her head just a bit, listening, hearing more than what she could before. Jumping when he returns without a sound, she sniffs, nose twitching at the smell of the food, small smile "It smells good, thank you." she murmurs, lifting the spoon, takes a bite

"It smells good, thank you."
"Of course," he murmured, leaning back and checking his side, which had now begun to scab over and heal, though it was itching beyond any comparison. Lowering his shirt he gently rubbed it, pulling out his knife and the piece of wood from his belt, looking at them a moment before laying them on the small table in the room.

"Of course,"
Eating, she hesitates, has to force herself not to wolf it down lest she get sick, not wanting to add to his list of worries. Blowing every few bites to cool it, she finishes the stew within moments, color back in her face "Have you been taking care of yourself?... You sound exhausted."

"Have you been taking care of yourself?... You sound exhausted."
Zay's eyes slid over her before looking down, propping his head up on his hand as it rested on the arm of the chair, half relieved she couldn't entirely see him. His other hand rubbed at the scruff that was building up along his jaw, eyes exhausted and still retaining the shadows from before she left. "I'm fine," he lied quietly.
