Two days.
Two whole damn days of watching people get healed while Rae went untouched, unteased, and completely action-less.
Alice had done her magic.
Literally.
She'd worked like an angel on crack, pulling out darkness from Alex, Lyra, and Bryce like it was dental floss on demon teeth.
It was almost divine.
The woman radiated enough holy light to make a priest blush.
And yeah, Rae got it, she was a national treasure, a sacred healer, one of the Seven... blah blah blah.
But he was suffering.
Not a single boob jiggle.
Not a single thigh flash.
Not even a casual, accidental brush of soft hand against horny goblin.
He was starving.
Meanwhile, the patients? Fine. Just asleep.
Alice said all three were stable now, just needed rest.
"For Lyra and Bryce, it wasn't that bad."
She had said, with that serene voice that made Rae want to sin harder.
"But Alex… the spear had pierced deep. The darkness was embedded. It took time."
