Rose

She listened to the strange woman and all that she said, with as much attention as she could spare. After all, she had to fix a few organs and stop Taran from bleeding to death at the same time. What she caught from the conversation was that she was Dragon's grandmother, and... also Nogard and Xangord's, as well. And from Nogard's reaction, Alachia was also a mermaid. n** had kids, who were there- though Rose didn't know how they got there. And Alachia said something about someone's Dragoon, who was trying to get Alachia's great grandson out of some kind of coma. At that point, if Alachia hadn't paused, Rose would have never caught. Taran was the one healing Xink, who was the only great grandson. Taran is a dragoon? Like n**? But whose...?

But her thoughts along those lines were interrupted by Alachia's simple explaination of Nogard, and the source of Larkin's loathing of her. Though, that also didn't explain why Larkin was there, or who she was. But the last thing Alachia said caught Rose's breath in her throat. Lord Avondale was Dragon's father.

Rose smiled, and almost forgot her patient. She was going to say something, but felt changes in Taran's heartbeat. She closed her eyes, and her face went expressionless. She moved her hands carefully, sealing up the last of the tears in Taran's organs. She quickly checked that all was well in him, before opening her eyes and closing the wound. There was no mark left on him there after she was done, though if there had been, it would have stretched across his entire chest in three different spots. He's lost so much blood... Rose thought, it might be the death of him yet.

ANTIE-D
Looking at the stream, ANTIE-D pushed a button and said over the comm, "We will be back in Gaia's orbit in five minutes. Will we be landing, Dragon?"

Taran

Feeling Rose's hands on him gave him a measure of comfort, if only he could express it. But he hadn't the strength. He heard the strange woman talking, but he couldn't understand the words. He felt his lifeblood leaving his body still, and his only thoughts were of the one he served, and those he had sworn to protect....

All went black as he lost consciousness, and his life tried to slip away from him as Rose tried to fix his wounds and keep him alive.
