Frazila finally got a moment alone to inspect the vail she confiscated from their patient's attacker. It was small about the size of her middle finger. The seeds were about 5mm in diameter. Lavender in color with an iridescent sheen. They were some of prettiest seeds she had ever seen. Noting that they were nice and dry, so she figured they would last long enough to make it back to the ship, whenever that happens...

She didn't dwell on the thought for very long. She was generally a very optimistic person. Still, she was ready to get back on the ship and get settled in.

Their patient, Jim, was on the ground in front of her, but within eyesight, just in case anything went wrong. They had been traveling for some time, and he appeared to be quite stable. This gave Frizala the chance to inspect her own wounds. Her head had started to hurt from having bandages tightly wrapped around her head for so many days.

She looked around to make sure she was alone and proceeded to remove the bandages. She noticed a bright reflection on the ground to her left, and just her luck, it was a broken shard of a mirror. She carefully picked it up and began to inspect her head. It was surprisingly white and wrinkly. Damnit! she thought. The moisture trapped and my skin isn't drying. I look like a stupid raisin. I stupid rotting raisin.

Just then she broke her focus from her reflection towards her patient. She realized that he was staring right at her. shit she thought. She quickly wrapped her head back up while watching him, but before she could approach him, he blinked a couple of times and slipped back out of consciousness.

She went over and checked him. He was definitely out again. Phew! That was close.
