Turning, they nearly ran into the maids’ resident nurse. She’d made a very timely appearance, though it would seem that Akantha’s well-deserved rest and recuperation would be slightly delayed. [b]“She needs rest and a proper meal and time to process what has happened today, but otherwise she appears unharmed,”[/b] Polina explained. [b]“But giving her a checkup would be a good idea either way. What do you think, Lucrecia?”[/b]
