Never Let It Get That Far

The woman answered quickly that she had no one and Iki could see the tumultuous emotions flit over her white masked face. Perhaps this wasn't supposed to happen. Was this pregnancy a secret? It wasn't her duty to delve into such matters. It was simply her duty to care for the woman until she was healed. If Relm insisted on continuing her patrols, Ikigai would be forced to pull in outsiders to make the woman sit still.

A moment later, Relm said that Alastor would need to be notified so that her shifts could be filled and Iki released a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it. You just focus on getting better." Iki cleaned up the last of the blood and put things back where they went. Once she was sure that Relm was no longer bleeding and the herbs had kicked in enough for her to walk, Iki helped the large fae to her paws. "I'll tell Al that you're sick and that it's contagious, but not life threatening. It should keep everyone away for a little while while your body heals and you regain your strength." With her shoulder against Relms, she walked the woman back to her den to make sure that she got there safely. "I'll deliver herbs daily, but I'll warn everyone else away, okay?"
