Chapter 6

One week after the events of Dying of the Light

Tanith and Saracen

"Hey" Tanith said as she walked into Saracens hospital room, he had been off the oxygen for a while now and had the colour back in his checks. His hair spiked up in every direction which in Tanith's eyes was called 'Bed Hair'.

"Morning" he replied sitting up. He had a newspaper to his left and a jug of water to his left.

"Who's hospital treating ya'"

"Ermm, it okay" he said thoughtfully "Rather be at home"

"Well today's your lucky day" Tanith told him brightly "Your going home" a grin over took his face .

"Awwww thank god!" he proclaimed.

"The Doctor told me to tell you seeing as she has other people to attend to, so here I am"

"Okay, my clothes are over there, could you pass them over to me" pointing to a chair in the corner of the room.

"Sure, I'll just wait out here" passing his clothes to him and leaving the room. Outside mages passed getting on with their everyday activities, but they had changed she noticed. They had more of a spring in their step; even the grumpy man sat in the corner crying for Scapegrace was a little more cheerful.

After about 5 minutes Saracen came out of his room looking clean and refreshed his hair much to Tanith's disappointment had been combed. She reached up a scuffed up his hair making it messy again. Only to realize that he had some sort of gel in it, this was now all over her hand.

"Urgh"

"That's what you get for messing up my hair" he laughed leaving his hair all spiky.

"It looks better when you don't flattener it back you never used to" she mumbled looking at her boots.

"Yeah... well time have changed" when she didn't reply he added "Got to keep up with the fashion" he chuckled.

She cracked a smile "Well you were always fashion conscious"

"Yeah, Ghastly knew that well" he said off the bat without realize what he said. When he did he looked at Tanith and inwardly winced; she was on the verge of tears. He put his arm around her shoulders. "Sorry" he said quietly.

"It okay" she said pulling away and going to the ladies room.

"Great well done Saracen you've upset her" he said to himself.
