While that was happening, Alexia reached the rest of them shortly after.
First, she treated Lily.
Then she had to stop for a while, nearly collapsing from the sheer amount of Essence she had burned through in such a short span of time, before she could even think about moving on to Ray.
Michael also needed immediate treatment after Juliana put him down with a neurotoxin. Alexia did everything she could for him… but she still couldn't save the eye he'd been stabbed in.
"Wait, what did you say?" I frowned and leaned closer to Michael, studying him as if I were seeing him for the first time. His right eye was closed, a long pale scar cutting across it like a slash of white paint. "Oh, fuck. Did you actually lose an eye?!"
Michael looked personally offended. "You're just noticing now?! We've been talking for a while!"
"I thought you were trying out some new edgy fashion statement to look cool!"
"…Respectfully, what is wrong with you?"
Yeah…
