[The examinations are thorough and to go through all of the patients takes several hours- Zelgadis's main job is to look at the patients for odd marks, describe their complexions, gauge their pupillary responses, look inside their mouths, etc. Rezo meanwhile uses a small horn to listen to the heartbeats and breathing of the patients, taps and palpates their abdomens to check the state of their organs, takes their pulses, and tries wherever possible to coax speech and movement out of the patients.
Naturally, some of the patients are worse than others. Laurent's condition is fascinating. It also reminds him slightly of the suspended animation the Taforashia patients had been placed in.
(That Rezo had placed them in.)
Maude might be the healthiest, but her examination is perhaps the strangest. When she begins to repeat herself compulsively, Rezo does his best to shush Maude, speaking soothingly about how it's alright. Only a slight frown after she's quieted down betrays any disturbance at her behavior, at the way her question echoes in his mind.]
Blessed...
[Looking at the spring feels even more urgent now. But he still thinks he needs to prioritize getting the majority of the villagers into a less dangerous condition first.
Rezo straightens up, leaving Maude to hopefully get some rest, and turns to Zelgadis.]
I'll go speak with the innkeeper. Zelgadis, you should retrieve the men who brought me here. Things will be easier with more pairs of hands. If they have any complaints, you can tell them I'll compensate them later.
sobs this took way too long to get done
