Doubled over under her indoor parasol with one gloved hand clamped hard over her mouth, her shoulders shake helplessly with it. And she is not even quiet about it. She is wheezing it out loud to every corner of the colonnade, between gulps of laughter and not caring who hears. \u201cI knew it,\u201d she gasps. \u201cI knew it. The little lunatic really did fall out of another world.\u201d She wipes at one eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cClear-eyed. Stone sober. Completely out of his mind. Best thing I have seen all year.\u201d She means every single word of it, and she does not lower her voice once. Every priest in earshot has gone the color of a fish belly. The word orgasm. Shouted. In the open air of the Temple of the Moon.<\/p>\n

Over rows of the wounded. I can see at least three of them deciding to pretend they misheard. And behind me, Fenrikael drags one huge hand down his own face. I do not have to turn around to know he is doing it. But I also feel the other thing under the exasperation. The helpless predator grin he cannot fully smother, because his ridiculous mate just screamed something filthy in a holy place and meant it as a spell and some deep wolfish part of him is appalled while the rest of him is so far gone it is not even pretending anymore.<\/p>\n

Then the spell fires. Light comes out of me. Not from my hands. From all of me. From the thin pale frame Valerius sneered at, a vast silver wave rolls out across the infirmary like a tide coming in. Not loud. Not violent. Warm. It washes over every cot in the colonnade at once.<\/p>\n

A great gentle flood of silver light and where it passes the bodies change. Broken legs straighten under their sheets, the crooked angles sliding true. A long gash on a paladin\u2019s forearm closes from end to end like a seam being sewn shut \u2014 fast and clean \u2014 leaving skin behind it so smooth there is not even a scar to mark where the wound was.<\/p>\n

Bone finds bone and knits. Torn muscle weaves itself back into something whole. Dozens of men who were laid out and leaking a minute ago go quiet, then still. One cot after another, they begin to push themselves slowly upright. Hands move over skin that is suddenly unbroken.<\/p>\n

Their faces are caught somewhere between terror and the simple animal relief of pain leaving a body. It takes me one cast. One. I have not knelt and I have not chanted.<\/p>\n

My back hits the wooden post that holds the tent up. The wolf I love is two feet in front of me with someone else\u2019s blood still drying on his cheekbone and his chest still heaving from the kill. The man who promised me a kind first day of training has not been in his face for the last four seconds.<\/p>\n

I was carried in here over his shoulder like a sack of grain. My feet got set down on the furs. The small space between us has just been closed and the panic in his face has traded itself for something flatter and more dangerous. Like a soldier closing a visor. His hand drops to my hip. He draws my knife. The one he spent six whole days teaching me to hold.<\/p>\n

\u201cHold still, trainee.\u201d \u201cFen.\u201d \u201cYou have returned from combat. Standard procedure requires an inspection for hidden injury. I intend to be thorough.\u201d \u201cYou cannot be serious.\u201d \u201cHold still.\u201d The flat of the cold blade slides under the seam of my shirt. He does not cut me. What he cuts is the stitching. One precise line at a time. Each pass parts the thread with a faint crisp sound and a little more of my chest opens to the cold tent air.<\/p>\n

Right behind the cold comes his breath. Hot as a banked forge. The two temperatures together make me shudder hard enough to rattle my teeth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
