Though the man had definitely been in serious pain, Nevan had inflicted no real damage beyond bruises; when the man woke, he'd be able to function normally. Nevan was tempted to clean the man up, put him to bed, and dose him with rapid-heal but that wasn't how one with his cover occupation would act. Instead, he got an injector of energine and triggered it into the businesser's carotid artery.
Then she turned away, leaving the room before Dana could frame a reply. As the energine took effect and her strength returned, Dana clung to Arden's words. They meant there was still a trace of hope for her . . . if Clan-chief Killian agreed with the lady Arden. But that trace of hope wasn't all good; it was easier to hold fear at bay if you had no alternative to what you were afraid of.
The flight also gave her time, and energine gave her strength, to think back on the attack and Jason's dismissal of her. She still didn't want to believe that the man she'd chosen to devote her life to had set her up for such a painful, degrading death, even to give her the illusion of dying for the best reason a thakur-na could have.
"Are you allergic to energine?" "No, that'll be fine." Dana would have refused such a dose if she'd expected to have to go through the aftereffects; energine would keep you going through almost anything, but you paid the price later and she was also on rapid-heal, which made demands of its own. But both would be academic in a few hours.
You should be starting to feel the aftereffects of the energine, so Meara, our senior w'woman, will care for you until you wake and when you are recovered enough, we will have a party to welcome you into Alanna, the warrior caste, and the ranks of those who wear honor-black." He smiled, and Dana could almost feel the lightening of the clan's mood.
"You have done something as unprecedented as what was done to you, did you know that?" Dana's strength was ebbing as the energine wore off, and she wasn't quite sure what her clan-chief meant. "I'm sorry?" Killian laughed aloud. "Why doesn't that surprise me?
