"What's going on?" someone on a bed across the tent shouted in confusion. Everyone was clamoring about, trying to get a look at whoever had just started swearing their heads off. The healers frantically lit lanterns so they could see where the noise was coming from, while the patients grumbled.
"Isn't that Lady Bi Gho's little sister? The one who practices shadow magic?"
"It must be the agony of the Day of Shadows! They're experiencing those symptoms…"
"Are we safe? What if they lose control?"
"Not to worry!" Bi Gho turned around, sweeping her wide white fan in a round gesture. The lanterns in the tent lit up with mellow light, which allowed for people to see clearly, but wasn't bright enough to awaken those who were somehow still slumbering.
Bi Gho flashed her lovely smile around, as, with a flourish, she sent a damp cloth wiping Bi Chanjuan's forehead all on its own.
