It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! Today I thought I'd share a quiet moment that takes place between Eliana and Dagon fairly early in the book:
Dagon left his office and made his way down to the infirmary.
Adaos looked up when he entered.
Eliana lay curled on her side, covered by a sheet. Though dark wavy tresses hid much of her face, she appeared to be sleeping deeply.
“She still rests,” Adaos murmured.
“Her injuries?”
“All damage to her skeletal system has healed completely. Some of the damage to her musculature and skin has as well. The damage to her organs is still repairing.”
“Did you give her a silna to accelerate her healing?” Even with the serum, it would take Segonian warriors longer to recuperate from such wounds.
Adaos shook his head. “A silna wasn’t necessary. Her ability to repair and regenerate rivals that of the Sectas with their nanodocs.”
“Amazing.” Dagon crouched next to the bed. Reaching out, he gently drew the hair back from Eliana’s face and tucked it behind her ear. “She’s too thin,” he whispered, noting the prominent cheekbones. Though the burns had healed, some of the cuts and bruising remained. “Did you provide her with sustenance before she fell asleep?”
“Yes. I also fed her fluids and nutrition intravenously.”
“She doesn’t like needles.”
“She slept through it.”
Eliana’s eyelashes fluttered. Her lids rose, revealing deep brown eyes bereft of the amber glow. She studied him a moment, then offered him a sleepy smile. One small hand burrowed out from under the covers and stretched toward him. Soft fingers came to rest on his cheek and stroked the stubble there. “Dagon.”
Warmth unfurled in his chest at the tender touch. His pulse picked up its pace. “Eliana.”
Thank you again, everyone who has pre-ordered The Segonian! I hope you'll enjoy Eliana and Dagon's adventure.
Take care and happy reading!
Dianne
