"No. Now hush." She does the best she can but... it's a lot of damage.

And a voice calls out "Jessica?" It's Nancy

"Up here. Need help. She's hurt."

"Oh Sweet Hera" And Nancy joins her "Siv, what happened.. "

"Trap" Siv mutters her eyes going closed "Switch... show bomb replaced..."

Nancy looks at Jessica "Do you have any dross? If I blow this Heatherbalm she'll die"

Jessica searches her pockets..... finds a hand-drawn picture of childlings playing "Damn. Yes, here, use this."

Nancy takes it, ripping the glamour out and going for a hasty bunk rather than fancy , a fast song snippet rather than a whole one "Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"

And Siv... well, as the light glows from her bones, she still looks like crap, but she's no longer bleeding internally. Nancy explains to Jessica "It was not supposed to happen like this. Fake bomb, she dies 'heroicly' and no loose ends. That was the plan"

"Ok. Let's get her to Fenix."

"I'll grab her feet you take the top?" She suggests

Siv has passed out. You know that, because she's quiet

"I can carry her. Get the doors, cover us." Jess lifts the other troll, maul tucked into its holster at her side.

And Nancy does, moving to clear the way

Soon, they take Siv into the Freehold. The balefire flares as if in surprise and concern

Jess heads straight for the spa, and doesn't even worry about pants.

"Fontaine." she announces "Can you help her, please?"

Fontaine moves quickly "Take her into the water... her loss flow has stopped, but she needs more. SLip her in, clothes and all, it matters not. I won't let her drown" He promises

Jessica wades in fully clothed as well, holding Siv.

Fontaine gestures, and the water starts to froth

Jessica shifts her stance to keep her feet and stay steady.

Healing energy washes them over and SIv coughs and looks around, now clear eyed and wide awake ...

and completely healed

"I'm.. I'm in the baths of Fenix? " She looks at her untwisted fingers and the utter lack of any wounds "Sis, your place is amazing"

"Yes, it is. Nancy did enough to get you here, and Fontaine did the rest." She carefully releases Siv; not looking to dunk her or anything.

Siv slides into the water, then stands firmly "Okay...well, that was a close one" She actually smiles "Damn exciting now that I look back on it"

Nancy sighs "Fiona"

"I'm going to get dry." Jess clambers back out of the pool "Fontaine, thank you. Do you need anything?"

"No I am well" he says

Siv rises out of the water too, but gives fontaine a kiss on the cheek

"Very well" Fontaine adds

Siv then says "Exciting as it was, glad as I am to be alive. There was an attempt on my life. Who swapped bombs?"

Jess pauses before tracking water through the Freehold to try and squeeze/blot some of it out in the spa.

"I don't know" Nancy worries

"But" She lowers her voice "Best not to talk about it openly? "

Siv winces "Right right. SOrry, Fontaine. Please forget I said anything"

"Forget what?" Fontaine says

"Nevermind" Siv says and starts to walk out of the room then she sees her sister and blushes "Right, sorry" She squeezes some water out of her clothes as well

She goes through a couple of towels, but leaves a few for the others before carefully making her way to her room to finish drying off, and change.

Siv notes this
