“Maybe. The problem is, I’m not familiar with fae and what it normal and what is not. I need to ask you a few questions that might be intrusive. I mean no offense.”

Hope warred momentarily on Eileen’s face. “Ask your questions, I’ll take no offense.”

Aletta let out a soft sigh. “Thank you. Is Dax your first?”

Eileen looked over at him and smiled. “Yes. A precious gift.”

“How long has he been ill?”

“Since he was an infant. He’s such a sweet boy, but there has always been something wrong.” The words trembled as she spoke.

Aletta soothed, “He’s strong and he’s not about to die, I promise you. Now, what type of fae are you?”

The woman looked at her oddly for a moment before seeming to remember Aletta’s previous statement. Flicking a strand of hair over her shoulder, she said, “I’m a water nymph, from a pond family, not a stream one.”

Aletta filed that away, wondering at the significance of the different types. “And his father?”

“He’s a mix, part satyr, part wood elf. What does this have to do with Dax?”

Aletta shrugged. “Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. I need to do what I did with Dax with you.”

Eileen held out her hand immediately. Aletta took it and the scanning took even less time this time around. She felt a subtle difference, but was unable to pinpoint the exact difference.

Meeting Eileen’s eyes, she hesitated before finally saying, “I have an idea of what might be wrong. But I’ll need to see your husband before I can say for sure. Can he come here now? Or would that be an imposition?”

Betony spoke up, “He’s at the nearest guard post. We can send a runner to fetch him right away.”

Moving back over to the bed where Dax was waiting patiently with the markers, Aletta smiled over her shoulder. “No worries, I can do that, I have a friend there this morning.”

Settling herself comfortably and pulling up her pant leg enough so that Dax could start drawing, she sent the mental knock and waited.
