Katie realized what Birras was about to do, and looked at him, a little shocked. "No, don't," she murmured. "I don't want you getting hurt because of me. Just... finish the casts, and take me to... my room in the gardens. I can heal myself by... drawing energy from the plants. It takes time, but... it helps speed up the healing process."
She stopped speaking, as it took effort just to get a sentence out, and relaxed a little more, allowing Birras to finish his work.
