Crag
“Though Lily lived through that final day like a blurry nightmare, she later remembered it clearly.
When she awoke in the morning, Vina’s fever had soared higher than the night before. What worried Lily most was that she didn’t cry. She made no sound for most of the morning.
When Crag stopped to examine her, he didn’t say much, but Lily knew when he didn’t bother administering the herbs that her trip to Tanek had been a waste. Lily didn’t cry. She didn’t speak. Between her chores, Coral joined L...ily’s vigil. She sat with her and tried talking a bit at first, then took her friend’s hand in silence.
In fairness to Crag, he spent more time with Vina than usual. There were times when Lily knew he could have slipped away for a meal or some rest, but sat with them instead. He held Vina when she died. Lily panicked when her breathing became difficult and thrust her into his arms. He used a mixture of Eucalyptus to aid her breathing, but both mother and healer knew it wasn’t congestion.MoreLess
