"I-I think his injury is infected. My magic can heal wounds, but it can't actually cure diseases. Could someone-?"

"Let me pass. Quickly, quickly! Out of the way!" A black-robed dracon pushed through the crowd, his orange-skinned hands glowing with a bright golden hue.

"Vespion! Oh, thank the gods! My father told me all about-"

"Save the thanks for later, Kara." Vespion knelt down and suffused Smith with a large dose of healing magic, purging whatever disease festered in his injury. Smith glowed with the same light as had been in Vespion's hands for several seconds before the light faded.

Mazdak had taken some time to change out of his armor and into a fresh set of formal clothes. Hekaga was a city which followed more archaic rules than most dracon cities, and while protocols could be somewhat relaxed for non-dracons, Mazdak was inclined to follow strict rules of decorum, doubly so as a member of Ternoc's court. He removed the steel chestplate, greaves, along with his vambraces, pauldrons, and cuisses. As expected, he took his time bathing in the private room he had in the royal palace, taking assiduous care to remove as many traces of dirt, dust, and sand as he could. After taking a while to dry off, he changed into a white robe, complete with a black belt around his waist. With that, he went to find Rebat, knowing that they had until tomorrow to prepare for their audience with the Grand Prince.
