Vervain
”Hey, hey... it’s okay, Sunny. It’s not to hurt you.” Vai knows that probably won’t make a difference to him, but even if the cool feeling of the compress doesn’t go away, she hopes the fact that she’s the one saying it might make it feel like less of an attack. ”I guess we’ll have to find Mel as well, then.” It doesn’t escape her, that he’s been sick for a long while, and it would be enough to conquer almost anyone by this point.
”If he was here, then he will come back here. He’ll come back to you,” she says, dabbing the cloth across his cheek and down the side of his neck. ”Lay down, Sunny. You need to keep rested. You want to have enough pep for when Nate comes home, right?” Not that she knows that he will, not at all. But Vai doesn’t know where the Ascended is. She does know where Sunjata is, though, and he needs help now.
