...followed by her queen. Lyranth saw the hysterical blue and immediately went to calm him. [[Danth,]] she said, her mindvoice as reassuring as she could make it, [[You need to stay calm. For your rider. If she wakes and finds you panicking, she'll panic too. As it is, she's going to be fine, so there's no use in you adding to the fire...]] The gold wondered how reassuring that had actually been, but she hoped it was enough to calm Danth.

Shay, meanwhile, was angrily pulling on the straps, which were twisted into almost unrecognizable knots. {{Here,}} Lyranth said, heading over. {{No need to panic, rider mine.}} Shay, calmed slightly by her lifemate, was then able to get Lyra out of the straps without too much trouble. She carried the bluerider over to a cot beside Chantal and laid her down. 'S'kon?' she asked, but suddenly her friend Y'mir stood by her side.

'Merry told me,' he said simply. 'Bandages?' Shay smiled slightly and nodded. 'We've enough numbweed out here already, and just enough water, I think. But bring some extra rags, too. Make sure they're clean.' Y'mir dashed into the Hall and soon returned with the stuff asked for. Shay took them and carefully cleaned the wound out. It was deep but not spread out. Shay was thankful the wound had not been more to the left, for a lung might have been punctured. She poured the numbweed liberally over the injury, then sighed and turned to Y'mir.

'We're going to have to stitch it,' she said. 'Go find a needle and surgical thread.' He nodded and left, soon returning. His hand trembled as he handed the needle over. 'Do we have to?' Shay nodded grimly and threaded the needle, trying not to think of the task ahead. She finally gathered her courage and leaned down to stitch the wound shut, double checking the wound was entirely clean. She was not squeamish, but certainly out of practice with stitching flesh. She closed her eyes momentarily until her stomach settled, then began again. After what seemed like an eternity, her job was finished. She put a small coating of numbweed over the stitches, then found a blanket and covered the bluerider.

'How is Danth doing?' she asked, as a sort of thought spoken aloud. She turned to survey the blue dragon. 'He'd better be calm... I don't want Lyra disturbed by him worrying.'
