Alfred's body relaxed as he slid into unconsciousness, and for a moment Zelda thought that was it - he was dead. But no, he was just asleep, and still, tenaciously, alive.
"John Darrow," she said, although Alfred's actual first name felt odd in her mouth. If he was in the hospital, it seemed better to use his legal name. "And I'm Zelda Fisk. And I'm sorry but - I don't know your name either." She returned the smile, although it was certainly wobbly. Alfred wasn't dying anymore. That was a victory, if a Pyrrhic one.
"Is there -" she sighed. "The curse. Could you tell if there was an intuitive way to remove it?" She didn't have much hope, but the healer had certainly had more luck than she had so far.
