[ It's been a long time since she did something so incredibly stupid; a long time since she had a reason to use so much energy at once. Back home, now that the wars were over and people weren't being shipped in every two minutes for healing, she didn't have to expend so much so quickly. Here, there were hundreds of thousands of people - locals, outsiders - that needed help one way or another she almost felt like she was obligated to do so.

Stupid, in hindsight, and a mistake she likely won't make again anytime soon. She'll chastise herself for it later though, once the bleariness subsides and she fully realizes where she is and how she got there. The pain in her head has long since subsided as the energy returned, but the cold compress is nice nonetheless.

The Lunari stirs after a moment, dark eyes half lidded as she watches Solas enter with the book and tray of food. It doesn't take her long to register who he is - there are few elves she's met here, and fewer still that held her interest as long as he had. ]

Solas. [ She says as she sits up, gently pulling the compress from her head. ] How did — what happened?

You collapsed. [He says this as he closes his book, sitting back up again.] I figured you simply needed some time to replenish yourself, so I brought you here. It seemed safer than leaving you where you were.

[As he says this he tilts his head ever so slightly, his expression appraising. She looks fine now, as far as he can tell, no wound remaining on her head, and the lines on her face and arms seem to be glowing more steadily, much better than the flickering that he'd seen earlier.] You must have depleted your magics to cause something like that, am I right?

What luck you happened upon me then. Thank you. [ She sounds genuine in her appreciation, too. Like it really is lucky that Solas was the one that found her in such a sorry state. No telling what could have happened if some less savory people came upon her in the street like that.

His question has her blushing slightly, less bright than it would be normally as her energy continues to slowly return. It's almost odd how long it seems to be taking - but then again, her connection to this world's energies is not nearly as strong as it would be back home. ]

You are correct. I have not rested for a few days whilst working at the hospital.

It would be in your, and your patients' best interest for you to take more time to replenish yourself. [the words are firm, but his expression belies his worry for her well being.]

For now, you're welcome to stay here as long as you like. There's food and water, if you want any. It might be helpful, even if you don't need to eat.

[ She frowns, looking on the verge of protest until she meets his gaze. He doesn't know her well enough yet — doesn't know that this is a habit she has not fully kicked in the six centuries she's lived. It's hard not to work herself to her limit when she feels it is all she can do for the people around her. ]

I appreciate your kindness, Solas, but I would not wish to impose upon you for longer than necessary. [ She really doesn't, but a fervent desire for company and companionship has her words faltering slightly. No, no. She couldn't. ] I will have to insist on returning the favor some how, though.

It's not an imposition. I don't offer what I don't want to give. You're one of the few people here who... [he shakes his head. There's no reason to make this personal. He helped because it was the right thing to do.] regardless, you should rest. I have plenty of books here if you're bored, but it would ease my concerns if you would at least stay until morning.

[ She cocks her head to the side, curious as to where that line of thought might be going. Unfortunately, the answer seems to be nowhere. Oh well. ]

Very well. If it will ease your mind then I will stay. [ It doesn't take much to convince her, truthfully. ] I will not linger in silence if it cannot be avoided. How have you been faring since we spoke last?

[Thank you for not arguing with him. If there is one thing that he is good at it is making his point. But, the subject is settled and swiftly changed so he matches the flow of conversation.]

Well enough, I've found my bearings at least. As strange as this world has proved to be, there's more than enough to catch my interest.
