He startled at the voice; it was not the mediwizard from before. Softer, a little higher; a woman’s voice. Unfamiliar. She had taken his hand; there was a gentle touch at his back. He could tell she was trying to be soothing, to keep him calm, but – Theo’s ability to keep calm had been leaking out the whole time he’d been sitting here, stranded, blind and helpless. So he was too tense to sit back down, and he resisted her encouragement to do so by pressing her hand back in protest.
Did she work here? He thought so, if she were trying to help him, and judging by her demeanour. Thank Merlin for that. “I – I don’t know what’s happening,” Theo tried to explain, fighting his inner agitation as best he could – but he didn’t like feeling this lost. “Someone brought me over from the duels,” he said. He knew that much. He was more certain than before this was, at least, the hospital. “But they couldn’t – fix whatever happened, and I don’t know where they went. I – still can’t see anything.” he said, frustrated. He didn’t want to sound desperate – he knew there were probably other patients in worse situations first – but all the same, he really hoped she would help him.
