<Day 18 Warren Offices - Early Morning> 

Breezy and Jeneve sat listening to the Head Healer, "She's still in coma and I hate to admit defeat but this is beyond me. My recommendation is that she be sent to Tinobal immediately!

"Oh my goodness, Lilliana! I didn't realize that Rei was so desperately ill!" Jeneve exclaimed, glancing at Breezy.

"Is there nothing you can do Lilliana?" Breezy asked, her tone somber.

The gray-haired woman shook her head. "I surely wish there was! Her dragon doesn't seem to be doing well either. Nikita isn't the most friendly dragon anyway but her appetite is definitely off and she is more snippy then usual. I'm pretty sure Rei is the carrier of this malady, she is the only one that hasn't shown any improvement. I'm hoping the Healers at Tinobal can find some answers quickly. Having anyone sick with this is bad, but considering the circumstances and what this warren has just been through, having several of the riders down is not good at all!"

Both women nodded in agreement. 

"Watch it!" came the shout through the closed door. Breezy was on her feet in an instant, her body tensed as she moved to the door. The doorknob vibrated in her hand as someone began knocking vigorously. 

Readying herself for any possibility she opened the door slightly to find an out of breath Clainn. The big blue eyes blinked in surprise.

"Is Lilliana here?" he gasped trying to catch his breath. 

Curious amusement crossed the redhead's face as she opened the door further to reveal the other women in the room.

The young man needed no further invitation and quickly moved into the office. Looking from the Warrenlady to the Healer then over to the Sr. Wingleader his words came out in a rush, "I heard you are sending Rei to Tinobal! I want to be the one to take her!"

[..] 

Lasa saw her brother enter the med center, she knew too. Rei was being sent to Tinobal. He wouldn't allow her to leave without him. He was going to demand being the one to take her. Lasa knew the feelings that her brother had for this woman. She only wished that if Rei recovered she would return his feelings. She knew Rei, she'd known her for along time. She would never be a one man woman, or a one woman woman. She was a player and after the jealousy was gotten over, Lasa's eyes were opened about the woman, and she spent the rest of the time worrying about how badly Clainn would be hurt. 

Lasa has spent her life experiencing hurt and now she didn't think she was meant to be happy, but she wouldn't let her brother alone to be hurt, whether it was by Rei's death, or her tongue. 

Lasa packed her bags headed to Breezy's office. 

"I'm going with my brother. He needs me, or he will. I won't let him face what he might have to face alone."

"His choice is his. It's something he feels is important. You have a life here Lasa. You're own relationship. Friends..."

"Don't you know, my relationships last a few days. When Hilda left with Naomi, she didn't say goodbye...she didn't tell me when she returned. I'm not meant to have a relationship other than the one I have with my brother. What could happen to him, could end up taking him away from me forever. I know him. If Rei should die....or..." She trailed off, not needing to say more.

"Alright, Lasa. I'll have papers prepared for you too." Breezy said, not wanting to lose three riders, but knowing the twins feelings for each other.

Lasa then headed to the green to meet her brother. Clainn looked as his sister questioningly, but he could tell by the look on his sister's face there was no use arguing with her.

Plans were made medical reports and letters of transfer written and soon both sets of twins, one set human the other dragon, were on the green ready for their departure. Jeneve and Breezy stood with Clainn and Lasa talking quietly, as Lilliana appeared followed by a large aide who gently carried the comatose Rei. Nikita followed protectively behind the group.

[..] Mid-Morning

With goodbyes and well wishes said, Clainn held his love tenderly in his arms as the dragons launched skyward. 

"I do hope she'll be okay!" Jeneve said softly as the dragons blinked out of sight.

<Day 18 Late Morning>

Too many changes Breezy thought as she poured the last little bit of coffee into her cup. Shaking the thermos she sighed sharply, it was amazing how fast things were happening, including empty coffee cups. She'd wanted to get to the Med Center early and hopefully to talk to Jasmine, but duties had kept her occupied. 

Her stomach rumbled reminding the little redhead she hadn't eaten yet. Deciding to head to the dining hall she figured she would just stop at the Med Center on the way.

Breezy walked along deep in thought, thinking about Jasmine and her dagger, which then led her to think about the soldier, something the redhead had tried to avoid. She was still a little embarrassed over what happened or didn't, she wasn't sure. 

[You could at least admit that you like the man a little bit!] Coo chuckled in amusement.

*Of course I like Galen! He's a good man and I value his friendship!* Breezy snapped a little too quickly.

[Ooohhh, a bit touchy aren't we!] the iridescent dragon answered, landing behind the young woman.

*I am not touchy!*

[Uh-huh! Sure! Don't forget I know what goes on in that little head of yours! Me thinks someone protests to much!] Coo snickered, nudging Breezy in the back with her snout.

The redhead swung around and swatted at the large green nose, *If you're looking for a fight Sister, just keep it up!*

Coo sputtered in laughter, [You and what Army!]

*Don't be pissing me off Coo, I'm not in the mood!* Breezy answered turning to walk away.

[Not in the mood! Not in the mood!] The colorful dragon mimicked her rider in a sassy tone.

[For what?] Came the loud snort, a cloud of steam surrounding the redhead. 

[Obviously not for giving me a bath or a good oil rub lately, I itch like crazy and all you can think about is kissing the soldier!] Coo nudged her rider a little harder making Breezy stumble.

*I WAS NOT KISSING THE SOLDIER!* Breezy mind yelled at the dragon, this time taking a swing at the large snout.

Coo broke out in dragonic laughter as she easily dodged the fist. [And how do you know!] the dragon snickered as she playfully swatted the redhead gently with her tail.

*Stop that! And stay out of my head!* 

Coo chuckled walking in circles around her rider lightly tapping her with the tip of her tail, [You don't even play with me any more since we've been here, but you play with him and your swords!]

*Get a grip!* Breezy answered shortly, *That's just training!* 

[Uh-huh right! And just exactly what were you training for the other night?] came the loud snort.

Breezy opened her mouth to retort, then realized what Coo was doing as the small woman turned in circles trying to avoid the large green tail. Feeling slightly ashamed of herself, Coo was right, she had sadly neglected her soulmate since their arrival to Norwall.

Crouching she did a flip over the tail and ran underneath the dragon running her fingernails up the belly scales.

Coo doubled over in laughter almost crushing her rider, [hahaha!That..that tickles! hahaha!] Breezy showed no mercy as she grinned and tickled the dragon. Running out from under the dragon to avoid getting stomped on, the redhead stopped short. Her eyes widened, a crimson flush coming to her cheeks, "Galen!" she squeaked.

The trainer stood watching the frolicking pair with a big grin on his face.

[..] several minutes later

Galen accompanied Breezy to the Med-Center and the couple immediately sought out the Head Healer!

*Jasmine*

Jasmine stretched languidly, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She still felt slightly groggy but memories from the night before sent a warm tingling through her body. Unfortunately she didn't remember what happened after a certain point, things seemed to get hazy for some reason. She remembered kissing Landon, felling really good, then all of a sudden she got so sleepy. Sighing, wondered if Landon might be mad at her for falling asleep. 

There was other things that didn't make sense, for some reason Jasmine remembered hearing K'Laren, but that wasn't possible. She must've just been dreaming that had to be it. 

Rolling so she could see Kalena, she found the tiny woman was sitting on the edge of the bed watching her and Jasmine smiled, the smiled disappeared as she remembered what Kalena had told her.

"I wish you didn't have to go away!"

"I know," the tiny woman said quietly. "But remember you're my Big Little Sister! You'll be fine!" Kalena said her voice edged with something Jasmine didn't understand.

Jasmine gave her sister a quirky grin at the reference, "And you're my Little Big Sister too!" Her eyes brightened a little, "Maybe I should go with you?"

"No!" Kalena said quickly shaking her head rapidly, "Jasmine, I need to do this on my own!"

Two sets of blue eyes gazed intently at each other, then Jasmine smiled half-heartedly, "I..I think I kinda understand! Sorta I think!"

Kalena smiled at her sister's words. "Goodness we both slept late and it's almost time for lunch! I'll see what I can find for us!"

Jasmine slowly rolled over and jumped when something cold hit her thigh. Peeking under the covers, the young woman blinked, at first not believing what she was seeing. Yanking back the covers her squeals of delight echoed through the building.

"I wasn't dreaming Kalena! K'Laren was here! He brought me my sword!" Jasmine's shouted in excitement. Waving the sheathed sword high in the air the wild woman was ecstatic as she moved it around watching the light reflect off the blue stones and gold inlay, sending a shower of color across the small area.

Jasmine was so excited she didn't hear the horrified gasp from her sister nor see the look of fear cross her face. The curtain was swept open as Lilliana, Breezy and Galen rushed in.

"I told you so Kalena! I told you, K'Laren is my friend!" Jasmine exclaimed happily. Then a frown crossed her face, "But I don't know what happened to my dragon's tooth!" Turning towards her sister, "Kalena, do you....."

The tiny woman jumped off the cot and rushed out through the building, almost running head long into Landon who had just entered. Lilliana seeing the look on Kalena's face immediately went after the young woman. 

Landon looked at the woman that was near hysteria. "Kalena?" 

He wasn't the only one that had the same response but she was in no mood to speak to anyone. 

*Doni, where are you?* she called to her dragon. 

<I'm sleeping by the lake my rider.>

*Well get your tail back here. We're leaving. He was responsible for what happened to me, and I can't stay here looking over my shoulder. It's worse than it was at Daere. I have to leave.*

<My rider, you can't continue to run....>

*Hush, we're leaving...*

By this time Kalena had returned to her apartment and was throwing things together as quickly as possible. She didn't take much, but she didn't want memories of Norwall. Any memories would bring her fears to light.

"What's wrong with Kalena?" Jasmine asked puzzled by the turn of events. 

Galen and Breezy stared in awe as Jasmine sat on the edge of the bed swinging the jeweled sword as if it was an extension of her arm. "My god! It matches the dagger!" Breezy whispered to the man next to her.

Jasmine became aware of the couple watching her intently, "It's mine! I found it!" She said possessively, then grinned with childlike innocence, "K'Laren brought it to me! He's my friend! But my dragon's tooth is gone, I know I had it. I don't know where it is now? I thought maybe Kalena might know, but....." 

Breezy immediately called to the iridescent dragon *Coo, maybe you should tell Qualis we need K'tarr at the Med Center immediately!*
