He ran in, and ran to the infirmary, setting the girl gently on her stomache. "The garden's on the roof?" he asked. As soon as the girl nodded, he dashed there, grabbing all the herbs he needed. He dashed back. By that time, the others had showed up, and the girl's breathing had elevated and became ragged. He knew he'd have to work fast. He grabbed a bowl, filled it with water, and mashed up some of the herbs. In another, he did the same thing. Grabbing the first one, he instructed them to hold the girl down. The herbs would draw the poison out, but it would hurt in the extreme. Each onle held one of her limbs, and he spread on the herbs. A second later, the girl started thrashing. He spread the last on, and stepped back. A minute later, it started to take effect. She gave a strangled cry, and went limp. She was still breathing, just unconcious. He grabbed some bandages, and working carefully, he bandaged her up."These will need to be changed in an hour, and the wounds will need to be washed. Right now, if we tried, it would just seep right back in. It's as drained as it will get, in this stage. Some still remains in her system, so it's going to hurt. A lot. She needs to drink half of this, and half when you change the bandages." Xan gave these instructions wearily. He was exhasted. And no matter how he seemed, he hated to see people, especially girls, in pain.
