Still gathering papers, the king cast him a vaguely worried look. "Go find the healers, get it cleared up. I need you this afternoon for the audience with the delegation from the Bazhir. Don't forget." He swept out of the room, the door closing far too loudly in his wake.

Clutching the nearest piece of furniture, Zahir took a step, then pitched forward, landing in a heap on the floor. "Find the healers," he muttered. "Not—that easy."
