Redsand Canyon Demons

Khalys nodded in understanding as Aquene explained that her treatments would have limits - she knew she'd been through more than others could bear, but for the time being, she was just numb. The accident wasn't even twenty-four hours past yet. As she took several deep inhales of the lavender, she told Aquene honestly, "I... just feel... numb. Like it hasn't really happened, but... I know it has," she shed a few more tears, then let out a shaking exhale as the medic began to clean her. Eventually, she murmured, "I didn't even name them. I just buried them as close to Kailoh as I could..." She wondered what they might have named them, had they survived. She choked back a fresh sob, then decided Aquene was probably right; she buried her head in her forelegs, quaking while her tears truly began to flow.
