“Gratitude to you both, “Koi speaks seldomly.

“I did nothing you should direct all credit to Tina if it wasn’t for her your majesty would have——,”

“Died, “Koi painfully finishes her sentence.

“Apologies, I did not mean to appear insensitive.”

“Forgiven, I know you mean well it’s difficult to fathom a world without her again gratitude for saving her life if you don’t mind me asking are you a medicus?”

“No, no I am not, “Tina responds honored by the assumption.

“I find it hard to believe upon witnessing you tend to your majesty’s wounds.”

“My wife is a soldier, many nights she would appear with open wounds over the years, gaining experience I learned to master both a needle and thread.”

“You and your wife are a beautiful couple, “she says smiling at Kit.

“You are misunderstood I am not her wife, “she responds defensively.

“Uh, no she and I are family bounded by the ties of marriage she bears the title of sister in law.”

“Apologies I did not mean to offend, “she says sincerely.

“None taken, “Kit says smiling down at her.

“Your sister, “she says looking at Kit then towards Tina, “Your wife will she be arriving soon?”

“I’m afraid not she is away at the moment.” Koi hearing the longing in her voice sensed she unintentionally pressed upon a sensitive manner.

“Well, wherever she is I pray for her safe return.”

“Gratitude.” Nodding her head Koi turns her attention back to Queen Avile who still had yet to awaken. Pain, worry, and concern covered the face of the small pygmy. It was clear in seeing her stand watch as Tina tended to the gaping hole in her thigh she cared for the queen very deeply. Bette had never sustained a wound that great in size to ensure it healed properly she took her time in cleaning it thoroughly. Due to the lack of blood of lost she was extremely weak and frail.

“Koi, you have not eaten please help yourself there’s plenty of food and drink.”

“Will her health be restored, “she responds refusing to take her eyes of the queen.

“I do not know all we can do now is wait.”

“Come please eat as you also will need to regain your———-,”Tina paused as the erupt sound of rapid coughing interrupted their conversation. Looking towards the queen they rush by her side seeing her struggle to gain her breath.
