[Iggy grits his teeth, but says absolutely nothing - though he thinks there will be finger-shaped bruises tomorrow - because he knows that what he's feeling can't be nearly half as bad as what Nill's going through. And he hates it, but he knows Boba's doing the right thing.]

It's okay, it's almost over. Just a little more.

[He mutters into her ear, not even really knowing what he's saying, just talking the whole time to try and keep her mind off it. And when it's through, he reaches up to wipe his thumb gently across her face, where he knows there will be tears - he felt them dripping onto his arm.]

There, see? All finished. But I...I need to move you, Nill. Is that okay? There's someone who says they can help, but we have to get you to the castle gates. I can carry you, if that's easier - we can put you on my back, so your wings won't move too much.

[He turns to look at Boba.]

Thank you. Really. I...had no idea what to do. But I want to ask you for another favor, if I can. This woman - [he reaches for his journal, taps the open page] - she says she's a healer, that she wants to help Nill: but she must work for the King, if she wants us to meet her at the castle.

I don't trust her. I want to ask...if you'll come along, to help in case she tries to do anything to Nill. Please.
