The man took the mutt on his arm as if he had experience with invalids. Caspa had to wonder just how disaster-prone the poor guy must be. He spoke as if trained in healing, and she was glad: she herself had no such first-aid abilities. With two of them, it would be easier to twist the limp form so she stood back, acquiescing to Swentzle's request, wheeling and surveying the chamber for anything to strip into a bandage. As she went she was aware of being followed by the cat, which seemed a little regretful about the whole affair. Caspa hadn't thought she'd meant to scare the stranger - he was just jumpy, for some reason. The place was a little spooky, and she felt rather like the ghost Skoll had called her, flitting about it anxiously with searching eyes. Eventually they lit upon a square box or table, a tall pewter - for it couldn't be gold, could it? - candlestick standing on top of a white cloth that covered it. She tossed the candlestick aside rather perfunctorily, making it rattle on the floor, and swept the silky sheet away, tearing it into strips that flew pennants behind her as she hurried back outside to a dusky dusty world and a concrete sickbed. She knelt swiftly beside the doctor and the patient: the disaster victims past and present. "How is this?" The makeshift bandages streamed across the white furred chest. She had no idea what to do with them: she understood bones, but not how they repaired. Hopefully Swentzle knew what he was doing.
