Macabre (3)

After contacting Malia, Stella took Kyran and Cyneah to her quarters using the tower's transmission array.

When they appeared, Kyran lay Cyneah down on one side of the bed while Stella went to the bathroom. She brought a white basin filled with lukewarm water and a handtowel. Then she sat on the side of the bed, soaked the handtowel in water, and wrung it once before wiping Cyneah's arms.

Stella's brow was slightly furrowed. Cyneah did feel frighteningly cold. Stella could not say it in front of Kyran, seeing how worried he was, but Cyneah felt like a corpse. That was Stella's impression when Kyran laid Cyneah on the bed; her body appeared to lack bones. If not for the slight heaving of her chest as she breathed, Stella believed her to be dead. 

True Void disengaged himself as a bracer and turned into miniature armor before sitting on Kyran's shoulder.

[What are you thinking, Void Halfling?]
