Gentleman over walk a that your region of Twenty-Four

Rion helped Tamrissa into the wagon, then followed with Vallant close behind. It was dim inside the wagon with the canvas closed tight all around, but Tamrissa took care of that by creating a ball of brightness which she hung in the air above them. That let them look around, to see the six pallets on which six people lay, the pallets arranged three to each side of the wagon. The people, men and women both, were moving in discomfort, as though they were getting ready to awaken. In the middle of the wagon a guardsman lay slumped in unconsciousness, one of those Rion had put down earlier. And at the front of the wagon, moving even more than the others, was—

“Jovvi!” Tamrissa cried, stepping quickly over the unconscious guardsman to rush to their sister’s side. She knelt and raised Jovvi with an arm around her shoulders, then smoothed the tangle of her once-beautiful hair. “Jovvi, it’s Tamrissa. Can you hear me? Can you wake up all the way?”

“Tam-ma …” The word was slurred and garbled and very soft, but Jovvi was actually trying to speak! “Too … much … floating … Help … wake up …”

“I think she means she needs help to wake up,” Tamrissa said, looking up at them with distress. “We can’t do anything to help, but maybe Alsin can. Rion, please go and call him in here.”

“I don’t think that will do it,” Vallant said, putting a hand to Rion’s arm to keep him from leaving. “Now that I’ve got the feel of that sedative, I can tell it’s in Jovvi’s blood—but it’s too spread out for me to remove it. Meerk’s just a Middle, so it’s probably beyond him to remove it as well. We’ll just have to wait until the lethe is washed out of their systems by their own bodies.”

“Lorand could probably filter it out, but Alsin’s not Lorand,” Rion was forced to agree when Tamrissa looked as though she might argue with what Vallant had said. “Most likely they’ll all have to come out of it on their own, which might actually be for the best. We should prepare for their awakening, and do something permanent about the guardsmen and drivers.”

“And while we’re at it, let’s get Lorand and put him in here with Jovvi,” Vallant said with a nod. “That way Tamrissa can be guardin’ the two of them together while we take care of the ones who kept them like this.”

Tamrissa’s nod showed she’d changed her mind about arguing, and she went back to paying attention to Jovvi while Rion and Vallant gave their own attention to the unconscious guardsman. The two of them carried the man out of the wagon and put him on the ground near his companions, then Rion followed Vallant to the sixth wagon. They climbed inside and peered through the dimness, and sure enough, the middle pallet on the left-hand side held Lorand’s feebly struggling body. Once they found him, Vallant went to one knee beside the pallet.
