Jirian, sensing the urgency in Lady Dragon's tone when she asked them to go to the planet with the rest of the group, gave quick orders, and herded everyone off the Altsoba and into the tight quarters on the transport ship. Jirian looked back only once, and his face became grim as he looked on the form of Rilla. Wand broken in her collapse, he thought it fitting that any rescue she might seek would have to come from the very people she tried to mindlessly destroy. Jirian knew about her history. But he was also part of Central Intelligence, which Rilla had not known. He knew of her instability, and the full history of Lady Dragon's last visit to the fairy system.

Jirian was close behind the rest of the group, and was the last one aboard the transport, when suddenly something exploded in the space near them, and they were knocked off the latch from the ship. The outer door had already closed, but only just. Jirian checked that everyone was still all right, then issued orders that the ship dock at the station only long enough to drop off the Quick-Healers. Once they did, the group started the descent through the thick atmosphere of Lia Alit Iil-tia. Only then did the crew of the Dragonfly finally speak.

"Thank you for your help back there." Taran said uncomfortably. He knew it had been Dragon that had actually saved him, but he could tell the others had been healed by the fairies. Concern still laced his voice though.

"You are most welcome. Although, you sound deeply troubled still." Jirian replied, turning to look at him. The ensign officer continued to pilot the transport down to the planet.

Taran nodded. "It is... the girl here. Rose. We were hoping-" Taran was cut off.

"Ah. Yes. That must be the one needing the help." Jirian looked at her, but her eyes had... dulled some. She seemed half asleep. "She must ask it herself, if she is still able once we reach the surface. For now," he said, looking up to Taran, "we all must be calm and patient. We will arrive in a few minutes."

Taran nodded, but he looked uneasily at the girl. Part Fairy, part demon, part fox, and part something else. He was unsure they could actually heal her. But he tried to remain calm. He drew on all his mind exercises. He was able to find a less panicked state, but it was more of a state like a hunting cat than a calm one.
