[ And that is the last message before he shows up, with a set of clothes that are not robes per se, but a dress that is close enough.
And a box of chocolates, because chocolate, he has discovered, help a little in times of stress, and they can have ice cream when they return to the house. ]
Maiden Jiang. May I take your pulse while you see if these are to your taste, and before I let you change?
[ Taking pulse, passing spiritual energy... this world's medicine can regrow an arm, but... still. ]
[She's sitting patiently in the bed when he arrives and she lifts her head to smile when he gets there.]
Of course. And thank you. I was worried my brothers might cause some trouble if I contacted them for help.
[Her back aches but they gave her something, she hadn't paid attention to what, that helped. So she shifted enough to sit on the edge of the bed for him.]
[ Xichen's fingers are gentle and cool as he touches them against her wrist. Without taking them away, the gentle flow of spiritual energy between them, he raises his eyes. ]
I am sure you can understand now how your absence, though it has not been long, has worried them. I have made them aware that you are returned, so they do not suffer needlessly. But not where.
We will... return to the house? Either destination, I will help you to make sure you reach it safely.
I didn't mean to worry them. I'll be sure to apologize when I see them.
[She doesn't regret her choice though. Knowing them, she's almost certain that they'd charge in and one would threaten the employees in his rush to know where she was and the other would probably holler her name until she answered, someone else did, or Cheng dragged him off by the collar.]
I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to go. [And she's ready to leave the hospital far behind her.]
We will get you home safe and sound. I believe that will go a long way to easing any offense.
[ No, while Xichen used Maiden--
Madam Jiang's choice as an excuse, he had his reasons not to cave in on Jiang Wanyin's insistence. He will be, Xichen suspects, mollified by her presence. ]

Nevernight?

Yes. They told me some things but that’s where I die, isn’t it?

Do you only have bloodied clothing with you? I can bring something less disturbing for you as I make my way there.

[The less of a panic she can cause, the better. Or less than the one she already has.]

Then let me help you as soon as you are ready.
