Aeryn asked Iro, “You healed her?”
“No. Just cleaned her up.”
Orla realized that the two men she was going to bond with were on either side of her bed. She clutched her stuffies and looked at them. “So, were they all arrested?”
“How many were there?”
“Seven.”
Loken nodded and got on the phone. “We are missing one.” He muttered it as he left the room for a moment.
Sohar smiled. “We will get him, little sister. And if Loken catches up to him on land, there will be little left.”
Loken leaned into the room. “There will be a hand for identification.”
Orla blinked. “Well, I am glad he has thought this through.”
Aeryn nodded. “Serin’s sister tried to cave my head in with some bamboo, and Loken was there by the second or third swing. Between the two of us, we are going to fill the confinement areas of the Wonder Islands. Really, we are very nice ladies.”
Sohar chuckled. “I am sure your sister is as charming as you. She’s certainly scrappy, as you said.”
Orla smiled. “I do try.”
A nurse came in and said, “There are too many people in here. Doc Iro, I thought you would have gone home by now.”
Orla looked at him. “Doctor? Your badge says nurse.”
The nurse snorted. “And those scrubs say a size too small.”
Iro shrugged. “I didn’t want to come off as a person in authority considering your morning.”
The nurse laughed. “Authority. Right. Your mom would hand you your ass for that.”
“Please don’t tell her,” Iro muttered.
Orla chuckled. “If I ever meet her, I will make sure to tell her.”
The nurse looked around. “Miss, you have too many visitors.”
Aeryn muttered, “Can we take her home?”
“Where is home?” The nurse took her vitals.
Orla muttered, “The village at Wonder.”
“Ah. No. You need peace and quiet.”
“I have a house in the Blackridge chain,” Ligo murmured. “And staff. She can rest there.”
Aeryn frowned. “She can rest on the boat.”
“Aeryn, you are newly mated. Very newly mated. I am not trying to bring down the mood, and I definitely don’t want to witness it.”
Aeryn held her hand. “Is Jane going to come to you again?”
“No. She’s trying to clear her work so she can get home for the weekend. Her son is turning two, and she just has one more presentation to sit through before she can be with him.”
“I had forgotten about him. Can he walk?”
