âSheâs female, currently malnourished, and very unhappy with us,â Larimar reported to Nia and Peach. âShe wonât tell me her name or speak at all.â
âCan she speak?â Peach asked.
They were currently standing outside the medical bay where Ten was receiving treatment for his broken arm, and their young captive had been placed in an observation bay while Larimar assessed her.
âI donât know yet,â Larimar said. âIf sheâs been by herself for any length of time, she might just have gotten out of the way of doing it.â
âShe can thinkspeak though,â Nia said. Both Peach and Larimar turned to look at her. âWhat? Canât you feel her? Sheâs giving me a headache.â
âThatâs⦠weird,â Peach said. âI canât sense anything.â
âItâs probably because my shields arenât great,â Nia said.
âYour shields are excellent.â Larimar was still staring at her. âItâs your communication skills that need refining.â She paused. âIf you can sense her, will you try and get her to communicate with you?â
âIf you think itâs safe.â Nia waited for Peachâs nod of agreement. âI need to check in on Ten anyway.â
âHeâll be fine. It was a nice, clean break which will mend quite easily.â
âIâm glad to hear that,â Nia said as she followed Larimar into the med lab where she had already spent way too much of her time since their journey commenced. âHe hates being incapacitated.â
âI know.â Larimar chuckled as she waved Nia toward Tenâs bed. âHeâs already asking to be set free. I told him he has to wait until morning.â
Nia was already aware that Ten was fighting sleep waiting to see her and went to take hold of his uninjured hand.
His fingers closed around hers. âAbout time, too.â
âLarimar says youâre going to be okay.â
âI knew that. Iâm still breathing,â Ten murmured as he sank back against the pillow. âIs the kid all right?â
âApparently.â Nia smoothed the black hair away from his forehead. âIâm going to check on them after youâve gone to sleep.â
âI donât needââ
She pressed a kiss to his mouth. âYes, you do. I want you up and ready to fight tomorrow.â
He grunted something unintelligible as his eyes closed and his grip on her hand loosened. She kissed him again and gently stepped back, her gaze scanning his powerful body concealed under the pristine white sheets. He had an incredibly strong constitution, and he healed fast. He would probably insist on being back at his post tomorrow, whether Larimar liked it or not.
âHeâs out.â Nia turned to Larimar. âAt least for now.â
Her companion gestured at the tube inserted in Tenâs vein. âHeâll be out all night, if I have anything to do with it. Itâs the only way I can keep him still enough to heal.â
âI hear you.â Nia sighed. âI hate seeing him down though.â
âOf course, you do. Heâs your bonded mate.â Larimar patted her shoulder. âNow, do you have time to come and see the child? Or would you rather wait until tomorrow?â
âIâll come now. It will give me something to think about while Tenâs asleep.â Nia
