Ambrose looked as if he wanted to jump on Morgan and had Jeremy not been there to stop him he probably would have.  Caleb was uncomfortable, and it showed on his face, but the pain he was experiencing showed on his face instead of anger or annoyance.  He sighed as he pressed the button to deliver medicine to him. He would be out of the infirmary tomorrow and he was thankful, but with news like this he'd rather stay in for a few more days.  Looking at Morgan, he had more of a shocked look on his face than anything when Morgan explained his terms to them.  Why would he request anything of Caleb?  The thought caused him to narrow his eyes as he looked from Morgan to Ambrose and then back to Morgan.  What was he up to?  What kind of request could he make?  Caleb wouldn't agree to anything that would put his life in danger even if they didn't get the last blade.  He was tired of hurting, tired of the pain, tired of being in the infirmary.

As Morgan left, Caleb adjusted in bed with the help of Alex who had moved to his side.  

"What do you think Caleb?" Sam asked still looking at the door Morgan had slammed upon his exit.  "Do you want me to end this?  It will be swift."

"We're not murderers Sam," Alex chimed in looking at her with annoyance laced in his expression.

"What if he doesn't uphold his end of the bargain?  It is better that we give our requirements in this deal," Ariana added looking at Caleb who was looking at Ambrose the entire time.  When everyone realized Caleb wasn't talking, they followed his eyes and realized he was still staring blankly at Ambrose.  Finally, he spoke.

"What do you want to do?" he asked Ambrose.  "The forbidden texts are guarded, there is literally no way for me to get them for him.  It would require me to ask the headmaster and you already know how he is.  The second request I can fulfill on my own, and the third request is doable so long as it doesn't put me in harm's way, but I will think of something else if you don't want us to agree to this.  Ambrose, what is it that you want to do?  I owe you."

Caleb looked away finally as Sam rubbed his hand finally realizing that there had been a slight falling out between them again.  Caleb was doing his best to find a way to make Ambrose happy, but if you asked Ariana just being himself was enough, but Sam knew sometimes more was required.  She also knew that Caleb could get access to the forbidden text.  He was considered the headmaster's son, he was considered royalty, and some viewed him as a master, but modest Caleb didn't think he was that important.
