012 [Action]

[mountain_sage]

[The Malnosso have dumped the young sage by the lake in the woods after they were through with him. He was right on the shore, with his lower body soaking in the lake. He has no physical injuries, but he's unconscious for the moment. His slow breathing is the only indication that he's actually still alive. His face cringes, as if he's straining himself, but he doesn't show any signs of moving anytime soon.]

[OOC: Saleh won't be able to move for a while (for at least a few hours), so I'm granting godmode rights to whoever wishes to help him. Carry him to his place, your place, the clinic, the New Feather station, wherever you like. So, have fun with it.]

Hey! Stay with us!

[At least Rydia's here to help. Ceodore concentrates on another round of casting then glances at her.]

Not good. I found him halfway in the lake. He said his magic's been drained, too much.

[Rydia frowns, looking him over.]

In that case, he might just need to rest. There's only so much you can restore at a time, it seems. Here, lift him. I'll warp us to the clinic.

[Saleh's eyes fluttered open once again, still barely conscious. The female voice sounds familiar to him.]

Is...is that...?

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, Saleh.

[Following Rydia's directive, Ceodore picks up Saleh, attempting to be careful. It's not an easy task and the exertion of carrying an adult is enough that he can't say anything, but just nods that he's ready.]

[Rydia doesn't waste any time and focuses, then Warps them to the clinic. She glances around, then points.]

There, that bed isn't being used.

[It's a strain to be picked up, but Saleh doesn't think much of it. He's not quite aware that they've changed locations yet.]

I'm...sorry...

[You're going on a diet man! Ceodore can handle the weight but not hold a conversation at the same time, so he places his charge on the empty bed.]

Do you remember anything?

[It might help them figure out what they can do for him.]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

[Nah, Saleh's weight comes purely from muscle. All of his mountain-climbing keeps him fit and firm, after all.]

[Upon being placed on the bed, Saleh takes a few more breaths.]

Used...too much magic...they forced me...drained both...body and soul...

Too...dangerous...

[Rydia frowns at that, but her tone is gentle.]

Well, don't strain yourself now. You're safe and you can rest.

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Ceodore is righteously angry for Saleh's sake.]

Why do they do this to people? It's not right.

[And Saleh is falling asleep right about now...]
