Nathaniel hesitated, eyes darting around again. Jason was hoping it wasn't to try to bolt with her.

"Nat," he tried in a comforting voice, "You got her away safe and we're not going to let anything happen. Why don't you tuck her into the bed so she's comfortable when she wakes up, ok?"

Nathaniel licked his lips nervously but slowly eased forward to his knees, still clutching Beryl tight against him. "She hasn't woken up yet," he whimpered.
