Tycondrius stood over Pale, asleep in his medical cot. 

The boy's arms hung off the sides, he had thrown off his blanket, and saliva ran down the side of his mouth.

Curious. 

"Wake up, boy," Tycon said, nudging the snoring child's head.

Elves had a strong resistance to mind-altering Spells. 

How quickly Pale's body folded at first opportunity was grossly indicative of his exhaustion.
