Chapter 33

For a moment Midnight thought the physician was going to stay in the room, then Tresilian picked up the tunic that had been brought in for Midnight to wear.

“I’m sure this outfit will look a lot better on you than it does on me. If you’ll excuse us, Merit-Ptah, I’ll help Midnight to dress and then your servant can escort us to our room. I’m sure you’ll be glad to see your healing rooms empty once more.”

“Of course. No physician wishes to keep any other than the truly sick in their healing rooms. I shall see you tomorrow, Midnight-Pendragon. Tresilian-Hawke.” With a nod at Tresilian, Merit-Ptah turned and left without a backward glance.

“Right, let’s get you in this and out of here.” Tresilian laid the tunic down, then turned his back, forming a human barrier as Midnight got out of bed and slid the garment over his head.
