"Slowly drink. Too much too fast and your body will reject it."
Slumping when the air stops wooshing by her head, Avery groans when moved again, blinks slowly, eyes open but still unable to see. Feeling something pressed to her lips and faint words in her ears, she drinks, coughing when it hits her throat wrong, trembles, turns her head away, tears appearing in the corner of her eyes, pain getting worse. Jerking, her hands shoot out to grasp whoever's shirt, gaze wide, desperate, can't remember where she is anymore "My friend. I need to get back to him." she whispers, breaking into a coughing fit, face wet "X'Zayvean, his name is X'zay-" she croaks before her face twists suddenly in agony, rolls, hand trying to claw at her back where the wound is, whimpering "Please.."

"My friend. I need to get back to him. X'Zayvean, his name is X'zay- Please.."
Jaw ticking a moment and something flashing across his gaze, he opened his mouth to speak before he recognized something in her, and he quickly sat the water down and stood. "It's me. I'm here," he murmured quietly, rolling her slightly to look at the wound, and seeing it through the blood after he swiftly wiped it, he swore loudly. "Poison." He gently squeezed her shoulder. "Whatever you do, stop moving," he warned, voice stern and cool. "I mean it, Avery. Stay still, don't move. I won't be but two minutes."
Zay turned and ran out, letting out a whistle and pointed to the room as Enzo flew in. "Watch over her, and don't you dare follow." He ran out and looked around, eyes flicking about before he spotted an area nearby, running past the fallen horse and to a patch of blacked flowers. Leaning down and smelling it, he ran through his head the list of poisons he knew and what they did, making sure that it matched up. But, he realized that without knowing what race attacked, he wouldn't know the exact poison. He sword again, frantically thinking, all the while staring at the dark blossom. And a moment later, he pulled the plant and searched the roots, finding the little pods. Picking several, he ran back to the cabin and looked around, finding a mortar and pedestal hurried back into the room as he ground them up.
"You've been poisoned, and I have to counter act it," he said as he sat by her, quickly getting to work.

"It's me. I'm here,"
"Poison. Stay still, don't move. I won't be but two minutes."
"Zay..." she murmurs, catching bits and pieces, head spinning, tries to look in his general direction, panic crossing her face at his second statement "No, Don't." she whispers, hand reaching out for him weakly before it falls when she clutches nothing but air. Crying, she grits her teeth and buries her face in the sheets, unmoving when he returns, passes out after she stops fighting just to stay awake and make sure he comes back, barely breathing, deathly pale

X'zayvean swore and took the powder and placed it on a rag, adding water to make a paste. Adeptly, he moved her shirt and pressed the rag against the wound, wrapping it with the bandage, trying to not pay any attention to her skin. He had more pressing matters at hand. Once finished, he rolled her back over, gently tapping her cheek. "No, no no Avery, wake up. I need you awake."

"No, no no Avery, wake up. I need you awake."
Inhaling suddenly, she stirs slowly with a weak cough, hand moving up to cover his, still half asleep and delirious, eyes still closed, face wet "Zay.." she murmurs quietly to herself, voice thick, fingers grasping his loosely "Don't leave.."

"Zay.. Don't leave.."
"I'm not going anywhere," he murmured, using his other hand to mix the rest of the powder in the cup of water. He brought it over to her and lifted her up gently again. "I need you to drink this, as much as you can without making yourself sick."

"I'm not going anywhere, I need you to drink this, as much as you can without making yourself sick."
Eyes cracking open, she looks around blindly, turns her head away, small sigh, hand still clutching his "I don't... Want to... I just want to... Sleep.." she murmurs, slouched against him, barely awake

"I don't... Want to... I just want to... Sleep.."
Zay took a breath, "You have to," he murmured, though knowing he was running low on time, took some of the liquid as though he would drink it, but doesn't, and kissed her, semi-forcing her to take it, knowing that later she may hate him, or that she could very well lash out at him currently, but he didn't care. He only cared about saving her.

"You have to,"
"I don't want to..." she whispers, eyes closing before she jerks, sound escaping as water floods into her mouth, gulps so she can breathe, chest rising and falling slowly

Zay pulled back, taking a breath, kneeling by the bed as he took her hand. "Now you can sleep," he murmured, jaw working as he silently studied her/

Now you can sleep,"
"Stay..." she murmurs, already drifting back off into oblivion, physically exhausted

"Stay..." "I will." he whispered, taking a breath.
Timeskipie
After three days of worry and tending her wounds, Zay had tried his best to care for her. Though now in the morning, he was asleep, sitting on the floor facing the bed, an arm curled under his head and a hand grasping Avery's. He had hardly left her side during those three days, and the exhaustion was evident. It was safe to say he neglected himself to help Avery recover. And he wasn't even sure he had saved her.

Three days had passed since she returned home, nothing to let Zay know she was alive but pained cries and tossing back and forth in a fit of fever. Curled up in a ball with her knees pulled halfway up to her chest beneath the sheet, she groans softly, finally starting to stir. Eyes cracking open, she blinks, gaze mostly blurry and dark, sits up with a small hiss. Thinking it's merely night, she goes to stand then collapses, legs unable to hold her up

Hearing the groan, Say stirred, and feeling the movement was up in an instant, twisting to his feet as he whirled towards her, arms reaching out in time to catch her before fell. Nothing registered for a moment as he blinked away the haze, tending at the muscle cramps that came with movement.
"Wait," he murmured quietly, voice thick. "You shouldn't be moving yet."

"Wait. You shouldn't be moving yet."
Slumping against him, her gaze wavers a moment before she clutches him gently, burying her face in his shirt "Zay..." she murmurs, tired "What time is it?.."
