Sorry that my chapters are so short. Im building momentum as my English Teacher says.
"How long will they sleep?" demanded King Jonathan of Conte who had come up quietly behind them. Everyone on their feet bowed to the King of Tortall.
That is, all but Alanna. She scowled at him then ordered him around till he too was in an infirmary bed.
"Numair might wake up at any moment, as soon as he has a bit more of his Gift back. Veralidaine will sleep for about a week. She saved every single animal in Tortall. Foolish girl." answered Baird.
"Why am I looking like an idiot in front of my people, Lioness? Is it to humiliate me for not using the Dominion Jewel..." he demanded
"You what? Did I just hear what I think I heard?" Numair had woken up from his 'deep sleep'. "Daine travelled across the skies on a giant blue dragon, scaring me half to death every-time she almost fell off, just to bring you a stone you might as well have given to Ozorne?" This was one of the moments people wondered if he was related to Alanna. He was yelling far worse than she could in her worst temper. All eyes turned to take in this man who was as pale as the night sky was dark, yell his head off at the king.
George and Alanna looked at each other again, this time smiling.
"And why are you two looking at each other like that? Will you tell me, or shall I just take it out of your minds? If you remember, you still owe me from when I helped, my first time in Tortall. So you will tell me right now or I will get out of this bed and put your Swoop on fire!!" Jon, Alanna, George, Duke Baird, Thayet who had just entered the room, and Tkaa looked at him. He had never yelled at anyone over a person that strongly. They all winked at each other.
"So, Mage Numair Salmalin, we have a weak spot about Daine, heh?"demanded Thayet, her arms crossed, her eyes dancing wickedly.
"She is my student! And she was put in danger for no reason!" retorted Numair. He looked as if he was about to blurt out another speech about danger and Daine.
"If you wish to remain in a bed next to Daine, you must SHUT UP and go to sleep! Now. Or I will move you to your tower and you will be restricted from seeing her for a month. Good. I thought that would work. Now go to sleep Mage. You're waking my patients up!" yelled Duke Baird. He ushered the Royal company out the door and told them to get themselves a good meal and go to bed. They nodded and went off; George with Alanna, Tkaa wandering over to Kitten who had been holding George's hand, and Jon with Thayet.
