Gareth held her up.

Calista just groaned before she started to cough heavily again, the walls of her chest hurting from her violent coughing fits.

Meanwhile, James hurridly prepared the reed he would use to drip the elixir into Calista's mouth.

Calista just closed her eyes as she rested against Gareth, her face pale and clammy. As the long minutes wore on, her breathing seemed to grow worse.

James continued to fashion the reed.

Moving as fast as he could, James fashioned a reed and hurridly rushed back to Calista's side. He then adjusted the woman a bit so he could slowly drip the elixir into her mouth. Groaning as she felt herself moved, Calista slowly opened her eyes and stared up at him with glazed blue orbs. "I am going to need you to try and drink, my lady, can you do that?" he asked her gently and she gave a weak nod as she opened her lips slightly. Giving the woman a small smile, James slowly began to drip the elixir into her mouth.

Calista was able to swallow a small trickle of the elixir that James dripped into her mouth before she started to cough again.

Calista just continued to cough for some time more. When she finally stopped, James started to drip a little more of the elixir into her mouth and she managed to swllow a bit more before she started to cough again. "P-please...no...more..." Calista croaked out.

"Calista, you need this. If you don't you could die."

Calista was about to open her mouth and say that she didn't care, that she wanted it all to end. Yet as she gazed up at Gareth, the words died on her lips.
"Please try, my lady. If you can't do it for me, do it for this man here. He loves you dearly, that much I can tell."

"I would do anything for you," Calista told Gareth weakly as she gave him a small smile. Sighing softly as she turned back to James, she nodded at him again and opened her lips slightly and he once more started to drip the elixir into her mouth.

James just dripped the brew into her mouth slowly as Calista just struggled to swallow the liquid.
