It was easier, faster to hoist the man over a shoulder, save the remainder of his magic for a later time, where things were more dire. He had to think about Megara too, she was his true patient and Ruth had to get back to the stoner protecting the sanctuary. While Danny was gravely injured he’d live, with one good bloody story to share and a horde of pints now owed to the elf who’d saved his stupid ass. His father deserved some credit, Ruth supposed, he had created the opening so Danny was breathing steadily against Ruth’s neck.
His burden eased suddenly, the shimmer of the shield dwindled as the trio retreated into further cover and back towards their front lines and aid. The expression across Kellam’s face was one he couldn’t quite recognise or place having never seen it. “Right… let’s hop to it, shall we?” Moving with a lightness unexpected even with the added levitation, Ruth weaved his way through the war torn streets back towards the vhenadahl and the medical core.
He’d release Danny into the care of the healers there, leaning forward to catch his breath and take a moment before waving a healer over to his father. “He’s also injured, side wound and down on mana… How is Megara?”
[color=#419dc1]“She’s stable from what we can tell, but since only you can get close enough, that's only a visual assessment.” [/color]
Nodding silently he’d look up towards the meeting chamber, gaze narrowing as his mind worked over. “We got pinned down, but Clan Ghilain showed up so I managed to return. Megara blended a strand of magic to recognise my own while she was under, anyone else that approached would be repulsed, maybe even killed. You were wise to keep your distance. We have no idea what those wards can do, especially with Sylaise’s influence.”
