"It's going to be all right," I tell her firmly. Whatever's going on with her can be solved. Even if it can't be cured, like the poison in my blood, we can find a way to treat it, to make it better for her. I won't stop until we've figured this out. With the amount of technology and magic in this city, there has to be something to be done.

"I think the first step is going to a healer again," I say evenly, nodding. "They can look you over, see if there's anything foreign in your blood or head. They've done that to me when I initially went in. They have instruments that can do all sorts of things that I wouldn't think possible. It should be our first step."

The sooner the better in this situation. I can't understand how she's been handling this so well, without me really suspecting anything, for a month but it's high past time she get some relief.

"Maybe we can find whoever gave what you took the first time," I say soothingly. "He might know what to do as well. Will you do that? Will you let me take you to the healers?"
