Calista gave Rosalina a sad smile. "Rosalina, you could not have foreseen this," she said again. "You thought you were doing right by Darius to let him stay here and rest."

"It will be all right," Calista whispered soothingly as she gently stroked the woman's hair as she held her. "Gareth and I will do everything we can to help Darius."

Calista just remained silent as she rubbed her friend's back, trying to comfort her.

Gareth frowned as leaned over Darius and heard his breathing weaken.

Calista just rubbed Rosalina's back for a little while longer before she rose and walked over to her beloved. "How is he?" she asked Gareth.
"His breathing has weakened," Gareth whispered to her softly.
"Let me try and heal him..."Calista whispered to Gareth. "Before he gets any worse."
"I forbid it Calista!" Gareth practically shouted at her. "Do you remember what happened the last two times? It nearly killed you!"

Hearing about Darius's breathing, Rosalina paled and started to cry harder.

Hearing Rosalina start to cry harder, Calista just looked at Gareth. "I can not stand to see her so hurt..." she told him softly.
"And I don't want you to be hurt," Gareth remarked.
"My love, I have to try. I've healed his wounds before."
"Yes, with the results nearly being fatal to you."

As the two argued, Darius' breathing steadily grew worse.

Calista glanced over at Rosalina and then shook her head stubbornly at Gareth. "I have to try," she told him, determination in her voice as she walked over to her bed where Darius lay.
"Calista..." Gareth murmured, worry for her in his eyes.
