Halna entered Ailil's room, the senator hot on her heels. She motioned toward the bed where the bodyguard lay. She forced a weak smile, remembering that she was known for her highly sensitive bedside manner.

Lavinia hurried forward, taking Ailil's hand as his eyes fluttered open. "Thank the Powers that Be you're safe," she said quietly. "How do you feel?"
He blinked sleepily, his black hair a shocking contrast to his face, pale beneath a deep tan. "I think I'm too drugged up to feel much now, but I'll live."
Lavinia straightened up and beckoned the nurse forward. "This is Nurse Louvellu. She helped save your life."
Ailil attemped a courteous nod. "The pleasure is mine, Nurse Louvellu. And thank you."

"All in a day's work." Halna smiled as she stepped forward. "Or night's." She glanced at her watch and was shocked to find just how late it was.

Lavinia noticed the woman's brief look at her watch and realized that she, too, was exhausted. She released Ailil's hand and said, "I'll come back tomorrow. You need your rest." She bent and kissed his forehead, then stood and faced the nurse. "I apologize for keeping you so long. You must be dead on your feet. Please allow me to give you a ride home."

"Usually I would politely turn that offer down. But tonight-" She stops and looks pointedly at her watch. "-this morning, I'm so exhausted, I don't think I could distinguish an airtaxi from a... a... There. You see what I mean?" Halna wearily rubs her forehead.

Lavinia nodded in sympathy. "My driver will be waiting for me ouside. It will be no trouble at all to take you home." She unclipped a delicate comm unit from her belt and tapped in a message with carefully manicured fingers. "There. He'll be waiting outside the main entrance. Is there anything you need to do before you leave the hospital?"

Halna shakes her head. "No. I finished everything up just before they brought Ailil in. I'll just get my purse and then we can go."

Lavinia nodded, stopping to say a last good night to Ailil before exiting behind the nurse and making her way toward the waiting room.
