Just then, someone knocked on the door of the room. An elf girl walked in and looked towards Nayla. 

"What is it, Alera?" Nayla asked. 

"Oh, there's another human who was just being brought in. She has an eye injury so we were wondering if we could get the mender to come and take a look," she explained. 

"Two in one day?" Tanzin asked. 

Nayla thought about everything that had happened. Could the other human be someone the boy knew? Regardless, they had another patient who needed their help. Tanzin followed Alera to check on the other human while Nayla and Akon remained in the room to take care of the boy. 

But seeing as it was getting really late in the night, Nayla sent Akon home to rest while she watched over the boy. 

"Are you sure? You had a long day too," he asked out of concern. 

Nayla assured him, "It's alright, it's just tonight anyways. You can take over me tomorrow morning."
