Bab 253: Just a day in the life

Kellen was all smiles, warm and welcoming as he led the anxious child towards the Medical Bay. Brent was the same, and for some reason, that seemed to comfort the young man that they were bringing in. Some of the other Guides who saw him gave him pitying looks, and it was clear that he had no idea why. 

It had nothing to do with Kellen and Brent, honestly, and everything to do with the Healer Espers who resided in the Medical Bay. They were…a little more rough and tumble. Harsher around the edges. 

Still caring, just, if you had done it to yourself? Or someone else had done a severe level of harm to you? 

There was a reason Kellen was good friends with Taylor. 

So, Kellen and Brent brought the kid to them, and when one of the Healers saw him, their whole face went white. Thankfully, they recovered quickly, put in the emergency call for Taylor, and went about getting the kid to undress for him so that he could see the state of his body.
