Sometime later, everyone returned to the room to see how Rune's treatment was progressing. Fleur had done all she could, but the damage was severe. He was already weakened from having his arm cut off, only to be stricken by more serious injuries before he had even had a chance to recover.
"He won't wake up?"
"I don't think so. Not anytime soon, at least. As bad as things were, it would not surprise me if he was out for the rest of the week."
It frustrated Fleur to know that she could not offer Luna any more assurance, but at the very least, Rune's life was no longer in danger. The rest was up to him, and they could only watch and wait.
