“Okay,” Clay uncapped a blue marker. “Bandages will need changing at some point,” He wrote bandages in all caps. “I know Xenon’s lab has a serum that can speed up healing, because we’ve used it before when Cygnus got hurt,” Speed healing. “Also painkillers, I need to do some research on what would work best given his condition, and I need to make sure whatever we can find isn’t addictive. He doesn’t need that on top of everything else,” His handwriting got more shaky as he added modern pain meds.

“Sutures?” Delphi was looking through a book on Clay’s desk, one that was heavily worn and written in.

“Yeah.” He added that too. “Just in case. IV materials, need to put him on a drip so he’ll stay hydrated while he’s unconscious. Uh, antibiotics? Because the sisters said something about the body he was put into rotting a little, we’ll need to make sure nothing gets infected.”

“Roger that, Doctor Tambien,” Delphi saluted, then glanced at Calidi. “Dyou know how long he’ll be out?”

“No idea,” Clay set down the marker. “Get me a bowl of water, I’m gonna try and clean some of this blood off of him.”

Delphi nodded and left the room. Clay sank into his desk chair and absentmindedly picked up a coffee cup and drank from it.

Delphi came back with the bowl, fingers glowing faint purple and leaving trails in their wake. She traced a rune on the surface of the water.

“It’s warm,” she said, setting it on the nightstand. “I’ll go out and find as much of that stuff as I can. Send a beacon if you need me.”

Clay gave her a thumbs-up and tipped the last of the cold and probably dusty liquid into his mouth. She frowned at him momentarily and left again. Clay rolled his chair over, pulled a cloth out of the nightstand, dipped it in the water, and began gently wiping the blood off of Calidi’s skin.
