The door to the house of healing opened quietly and the two elven women slipped inside. Dela pushes herself between the door and Keerla, not caring to open up the door too much, holding Keerla steady as she keeps a close eye. When she notices they are fully in she looks around to see if they have caught the attention of anyone inside. Keerla still clings to the lantern more concerned about its occupant than her own issues. Keerla's condition was not good, she still shutters and leans heavily on Dela. Pale skin, sweat clinging to her brow and a small rivulet of blood snaking from her nose. She is whispering quietly to no one eyes far away. Henrik approaches, offering an arm to support the elf "Hello, welcome, come in" He looks at Dela "What has happened?"

Delaclya looks at Henrik, concern in her eyes showing and gives a short answer: "Mindflayer". She slides Keerla into Henrik's arms, as the carrying has been a heavy burden for her and continues: "No memories taken, just being looked at... at least the worst part of her fever is over"

Keerla tries to focus on the man her pupils' pinpricks in the blue sea of her eyes. She starts talking not giving Dela a chance, switching sometimes mid-word between Thayan, elven and undercommon in an unintelligent mess. After a few moments, she looks at Dela and then the priest holding up the Lantern with the Pixie trapped inside. Concentration tight on her face she manages two words in common. "Help Emerald."

The healer looks deeply disturbed as he scoops up Keerla and carries her to the infirmary making sure Dela is following, he lays her down on a cot and feels for her wrist pulse and his hand moves to feel the temperature of her forehead "I have some questions, how long has she had this fever? Also has she shown any signs of a perzonality change?" He begins to chant prayers over her softly; stripping away any magical influence, he casts protection on her mind against evil and malign magics and works with energy to boost her physical and mental constitution. // Plotter

Dela follows, staying close to both of them as she answers the questions:
"Yes that is a pixie, it will be freed, but Keerla is my priority first. She has had this fever for a few days and i have tried to cool her with snow and made sure she had enough to drink and enough fresh air"
Dela watches a moment as he starts chanting and continues afterwards: "She had a rough life, the brandings and tattoos you see have sealed away some of her personalities and memories in a more... dark part of her life, to an extend that she did not even understand or speak elven. After the Mindflayer took his payment for the pixie you see she has not been well. she is confused at times, tossing and turning during the night."
After plucking away a tear from the corner of her eye she continues: "She is a good girl, please, i do not know what i would do if..."

"Him helping. Keerla."

"You are forever welcome" Henrik nods "Rest now and I'll see about getting you something to eat, it sounds as if you have this situation in hand, it is distressing to see a poor pixie trapped so" He gazes at the lantern, clearly it's making him uncomfortable and uneasy "I hope this will be resolved and if you require aid, please let me know, in the meantime we will care for Keerla and build up her health"

"I will we alright, she is more important right now than me." Dela smiles softly, looking at keerla and sighs softly. she then takes the lantern and speaks a few soft words into it in Sylvan: When she is up and about again, i am sure the first thing on her mind is letting you out

Rika Jarna: *looks over at Dela* So what have the healers done?
Delaclya Relipe: I’m not sure
Rika Jarna: 'okay
Delaclya Relipe: a tall man helped us
Delaclya Relipe: he also did some chanting
Rika Jarna: I have never heard about the damage of mind flayer
Delaclya Relipe: I’m sorry I didn’t ask but I will when I see him
Rika Jarna: I can try and offer a bit of healing myself if you will allow me Keerla
Rika Jarna: it won’t hurt... but I don’t know how much it will do
Rika Jarna: may I try Keerla?
Keerla Talant’tinu: Sure. Welcome try.
Rika Jarna: *nods*
Rika Jarna: *kneels by her side and take out her bag... finds some herbs and bowl*
Delaclya Relipe: *watches closely*
Rika Jarna: *crush the herbs in the bowl and lights then on fire only to blow it out right away... making it smolder and give of a soft sweet smell*
Keerla Talant’tinu: *Breathes in enjoying the smell. *
Rika Jarna: breath this in dear *puts the bowl on Keera’s chest and puts her hand on each side of her head*
Rika Jarna: *says a prayer*
Rika Jarna: Secrets lost secrets gained.
Rika Jarna: *casts Regenerate*
Keerla Talant’tinu: *Sits still. * Rika Jarna: *her hands glow with a soft purple light becoming one with the smoke from the bowl that seep in to her nose*
Rika Jarna: *then mutters a new prayer* we restore what is lost to gain the unknown.
Rika Jarna: *casts Greater Restoration*
Rika Jarna: *the light turns bright as the last of the smoke vanish in to Keera’s nose*
Rika Jarna: *then it slowly fades*
Rika Jarna: *sits*
Keerla Talant’tinu: *Blinks*
Delaclya Relipe: in all the time I’ve known you, Rika, I have never seen you work like that…
Rika Jarna: that’s about the best I can do sweetie... it may still take a few days to fully help... im not sure how mindflayer attacks work

Rika Jarna: that’s about the best I can do sweetie... it may still take a few days to fully help... im not sure how mindflayer attacks work "Hello Miss Rika" Henrik's quiet voice speaks "I'm afraid I know" He wanders in with a cup of tea and pulls up a chair "From observations and study I've done in the past, the attacks are mental, they can mutate memories, damage the brain resulting in memory loss and cause profound mental harm. Their method of reproduction is also.. terrible. The best cure is supporting the body, restorations and allowing itself, free of malign influence, to repair the tissue. It's going to take some time, it took a few treatments for the last victim of an attack who came here. I can share my notes with you if you wish?" He pauses, his tone gentle "It's also customary courtesy to let the attending healer know if you're helping, but no harm done, let me know next time in case our methods clash or as in this case..." His eyes twinkle wryly "We use the same prayer twice, needlessly"

It would easy my mind if I knew what to expect for my friend here.

It would easy my mind if I knew what to expect for my friend here. "His name is Gjurd, one of the Longsword family. I haven't seen him for a while but last I did he was recovering well" Henrik replies warmly, looking through his journal he shows her "In order not to overwhelm his mind, we got him soundly inebriated and applied restorations and healing, the alcohol works very well..surprisingly! As a buffer and slowing method it's gentle. Memory comes back without a sudden, overwhelming rush" He looks at Keerla "The effects of this vary from race to race though, so with Keerla we must take our time and be gentle"

*Lexi would quietly slip into the house of healing to find Henrik*
*Once found* Lexi would say, "If keerla is in need of anything to help her or costs are incurred send word to me. I dont need Dela or Keerla worried about such." As ussual for Lexi shadows within seem drawn to her. "Also I wasnt here"
After speaking with Henrik she would sit quietly in dark corner watching over Dela and Keerla.

A woman in the plain grey ill-fitting coarsely spun robes of Ilmater kneels down beside Keerla. With a bit of clumsy and inexperienced effort she hovers over the fever-wracked woman quickly changing the sweat stained bedding and replacing a damp cloth against Keerla’s fevered brow. Any in attendance at this quiet late hour might only see a woman with close cropped jet-black hair and one lazy eye whispering a few words of encouragement to Keerla before slipping deftly away into the night’s gloom.
“I had heard that that Xrlish'ctuh'szullsh bit down quite harshly down on his little sweet-meat scatterings the treats savory juice all about. I do trust that the little bottle of sprite was worth all this pain of yours. My dear if you plan to barter with devils, next time see that you fashion a better deal. Oh, and one last cheering tiny thought before I must depart…” The words lingered in the air with as a touch of amusement entered the woman’s voice. “Sweet-meats, well how can you ever stop at just a single tiny small little nibble. One simply must always come back for more.”

Taking note of her short black hair, lazy eye and anything else that might stand out* *Hand resting on the hilt of her blade more out of reflex then of thought that this caretaker might mean harm*

Delaclya does not seem to part from Keerla's side, taking over any personal care or needs she requires, being it helping her drink, eat or taking her out for a walk. At any conversation had with Keerla, Delaclya seems to be in close proximity, overprotective, obsessive about Keerla's recovery and forgetting herself, hardly speaking and falling asleep now and then while Keerla is resting, right next to her.

His eyes twinkle wryly "We use the same prayer twice, needlessly" When Henrik arrive to check on Keerla in the morning she is sitting up feeding the Pixie berries through a small hole in the top of the Lantern. She is looking much better though her brows are still creased with pain and her eyes look washed out and cloudy. "Hello. Mister Henrik. How you?" Keerla squirms in the bed looking uncomfortable in the small room, like she wants to be out and running or dancing. "Dela says I. No allowed. Leave bed till. Better." She says with the soft smile of those deeply in love.

Henrik arrives on his rounds with a covered tray and a warm smile "Good morning Miss Keerla, I am well, thank you - you're looking much improved!" He notes her discomfort and looks thoughtful "Yes Dela is correct, you should rest until you feel better, we need to make sure your fever doesn't come back" He uncovers the tray "Do you think she would smile if you ate a little something?" The tray contains a crust of bread, a slice of Mist cheese and fresh grapes "I'll leave these here, if you feel like you want to nibble on a snack, maybe your pixie would like a grape?" He seems to chide himself a moment "I forgot something, be right back..." He vanishes for a short time then returns carrying a small pot containing a plant. Whatever is in this pot smells fresh, earthy and herbal. It is healthy and looks like a tiny tree of some kind, with bright green new leaves sprouting. "I was wondering if you would mind keeping an eye on this fellow for me while I'm busy? He needs a little conversation, maybe...your pixie would certainly enjoy his company too?"

Delaclya looks over the plate and gives an appreciative smile, and calmly listens to what is being told to Keerla. As he returns with the plant she frowns at first but ends up with a smirk as she understands what he is doing

Keerla eyes the tree with a midly confused look but takes it. "Um Keerla. No know much. Tree but sure. She watch." Keerla sets Emerald down by the tree and starts slipping pieces of grape, cheese and bread though the top of the lantern till the fairy shakes her head no more. She then picks lightly at the tray herself. A well she sits a far off look fills her eyes and she seems lost in thought for hours like she is reviving but behaving differently. Her hands twitch and her eyes sometimes move rapidly under their lids like those of a person experiencing a vivid dream. Suddenly one of her hands snakes out and wraps around Dela's wrist, hard enough to hurt. Eyes pop open unseeing and she rasps something quietly in Thayan before going going limp and dropping into a deep sleep for several hours.

"It's a Dathill shrub" Henrik explains "The leaves are used in a tea to neutralize poisons, depending on the patient so it's a good plant" He nods, studying her, he seems content to see her eating even if it's just a little "I'm going to get you a different kind of tea though, I'll tell you all about it when I get back" He dips his head and retreats gracefully to attend to his duty.

Henrik says quietly "Eating it makes one lose all ability to cast for a time, If she's a spellcaster that would leave her without the ability to protect herself but an increase in resistance to magic temporarily, not helpful if we want to use magic upon her.I'm not sure how it would help here? I understand if it's to prevent her casting draining or potentially harmful spells upon herself or others..are you thinking it might help her to resist effects possibly caused by the lantern?"

A elf in silver and blue would walk into the house of healing, talking to the entrance priest saying that he needed a priest that understood sacrifice and didn't ask a lot of questions. He would also hand a scroll to the priest saying that he needed the scroll delivered to Henrik before being lead away.

Henrik looks thoughtful "I could try a spell resistance prayer upon her, that would leave her with the ability to cast if she needs to. The herbal solution would take a while to find in significant quantity, unless you could locate enough yourself?"

Dela seems to think for a moment, before answering: "i really do not like staying away from Keerla for too long, but i am certain i can get some help from friends and family here, and it is for Keerla. how much would we need?" she ends, with determination in her voice
