PHOEBE
Phoebe smiled a little as Lily finally offered her arm. Sometimes people needed to see things done to be assured they weren’t as terrifying as they seemed, and Phoebe would never fault a person that. ”It’ll be a little prick and then it will be over quickly.” she assured. As gently as she could, Phoebe inserted the needle and drew just enough to examine, transferring the blood from the needle to the empty vial before pressing a piece of gauze to her arm.”A little over a month.” Phoebe said quietly, looking at her trembling fingers with an internal sigh. ”The blight is passed through open wounds or from consuming it. So I believe, while I was testing it and examining it for Frey, I must’ve accidentally gotten some in a wound on my hand.” Specifically when a sample of Ronin’s blighted blood exploded and broken glass contaminated with it cut her. But that wasn’t as important. The midwife carefully transferred the task of holding the gauze to Lily before turning to the sample. A frown curved her lips and she sighed.
”I’m afraid it is as I’ve expected. You’ve contracted it as well.” she said, pointing out the black streaks in Lily’s sample.
I look up to the little bird
The flies across the sky
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
The flies across the sky
And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And fly away from here
