Chapter 25. Cold

“This is where he lives?”

Jessica stared around the chamber in disbelief. She saw a bed, a wardrobe, a large rug, stacks of books, two softly glowing lamps, and a large empty picture frame on one wall. My bedroom at home was more attractive than this…to say nothing of the one I have here!

“This is where we live,” corrected Mal. He put Azrael down on the worn bedspread and looked him over critically. The sorcerer was still completely unconscious, a smear of blood on his cheek, his fine black hair a tangle. He was breathing evenly, though, and none of his wounds appeared to have re-opened.

“Should we take off these shredded clothes?” asked Jessica as she transferred her point of contact from Mal’s back to his hand.

“I know you want to take off his clothes,” drawled Mal, “but believe me, he won’t appreciate it.”

Jessica elbowed him in the ribs. “There is nothing arousing about a half-dead naked man. He’s just…kind of a mess.”

“No arguments there,” said Mal with a yawn. “I wonder what stupid thing he was doing to get himself mauled like that.” He dropped her hand, transforming instantly into the panther, and padded through the door to the rest of the suite. Jessica followed him into a cozy private kitchen with attached dining room. She could, at least, appreciate the ubiquitous presence of books. They covered the plain wood table.

Mal went straight to a massive water bowl against one wall and drank the entire thing. Jessica poured herself a glass from a pitcher on the counter. “Will he really be alright?”

Mal looked up, licking droplets from his black whiskers. “He’ll probably do more healing magic on himself tomorrow, but, yes, he’ll be fine. You should go now before he wakes up.”

Jessica nodded. “What about you?”

“I’ll sleep for the better part of a day, then I’ll feed, and I’ll be good as new. Thank you for your help.” Mal padded back into the bedroom. Jessica could tell that he was exhausted to the point of collapse. “We’re in the upper east corner of the palace. The front door of our apartments is straight through the sitting room, which is just beyond the kitchen. Do you think you can get back to your own suite?”

Jessica nodded. “I can get close, at least, and ask directions after that.” She paused beside Azrael’s bed and gingerly touched his hand. It was barely above room temperature. “Mal, he’s awfully cold.”

“Yes, but somehow I have survived two decades with him anyway.”

Jessica shook her head. “Mal, I’m serious.”

“It’s just blood loss, Jessica.”

Jessica rolled her eyes. “It’s just half the blood in his body! I am at least going to take off his shoes and this disgusting shirt and put him under the covers. If you don’t want to help, that’s fine.”

Mal came padding over as she began to wrestle Azrael’s arms out of the remains of his coat and shirt. Mal rested his chin on the edge of the bed. “I can’t help,” he said quietly.
