Chapter 15: Redanians

Next morning, Mikael was now walking to Shani's clinic once again, intending to greet her. She stayed on the brothel a bit, 'releasing' some steam, one thing to worry about though, is that the vampire is quite clear, it's healing, but it probably won't heal as fast as Mikael wanted, and Shani would be able to see it. He knocked on the door, but no one answered, he knocked again, again, no answer, so he tried to push the door, and it turns out, it's open.

He then walked inside, where he could hear people speaking upstairs. He then climbed the stairs, and he could hear Shani speaking.

"I've tested the venom samples, I believe I'll be able to brew an antidote."

"Good," said another voice. "A pox in the army can prove more ravagin' than even the fiercest foe. Your service will be recognized."

"How? Will I get a toad-shaped medal?" Shani refuted sarcastically.

"Er… The army's not got any medal like that…"

Mikael finally arrived upstairs, he chuckled at Shani's words as he leaned on the pillar beside the stairs.

Shani turned to Mikael, and frowned at his condition. "Mikael? Where've you been? What happened to your neck?"

"Just a bruxa downtown, no big deal." shrugged Mikael.

"A bruxa?" frowned Shani even more. "You've been bitten?"

"Like I said, no big deal."

"Ahem.." the soldier cleared his throat. "We're conductin' important business. Youse can catch up later."

"Uh… yes, I'll get to work on the antidote, shouldn't take long." Shani said, but then turned to Mikael. "Don't go running around again, I'll check up on that bite after this."

Shani then entered her lab, leaving Mikael with the soldiers.

The captain of the group sat down on the chair that Mikael used to sleep, and looked at Mikael.

"Tasty number, that medic," he said. "Not like a scholar at all."

Mikaael chuckled as he relaxed himself, leaning against the pillar again. "What do you think a female scholar looked like?"

"Well, usually, they only have brains, 'cause they've not got beauty." shrugged the captain. "Ain't that right lads?"

"Aye." chuckled a soldier. "Mutts, all of 'em."

"But this lass is different." said another soldier. "Exceptional."

"Yer a lucky bastard. We've seen her makin' eyes at ye. Not like she looks at us, ain't that right? Admit it… you fancy her too, eh?"

Mikael shook his head in amusement. "It's not like a woman like her is interested in an armless man like me." said Mikael, taking off his cloak, hanging it at the corner, showing his armless state, surprising the soldiers. "But, she's a beautiful lass, that's for sure…"

"Err… my condolences…" said the captain. "How'd you lose it?"

"War." he lied. "What else?"

"What army?"

"The north," he said vaguely. "Brenna."

"Ah… glorious battle that was." said the captain. "Didn't fight in it, but glorious nonetheless. Redania thank you for your service."

Mikael just chuckled. "Sure, whatever."

Shani then got out of her lab, with a bunch of filled vials in a pouch. "Here's the medicine. It's a strong solution, so careful with the dosage. Each patient gets exactly two drops after meals, three times a day. At the most in three, four days, the infection should recede."

The captain stood up. He saluted Shani, and said. "I thank you - in Redania's glorious name."

The soldiers then one by one left, leaving Shani and Mikael alone.

"Looks like they admire you Shani." said Mikael in amusement as he sat down on the chair.

Shani scoffed, she ignored his words, and sat down beside him. "Where've you been last night? show me your neck."

Shani then took a bottle of spirit and some cloth. She dipped the cloth to the spirit, and started to clean the bite wound.

"I didn't want to bother you by sleeping here anymore… so I slept somewhere else."

"Where?"

"A brothel." he said, as she heard that, Shani pushed the cloth roughly to the wound, making Mikael winched in pain.

"Didn't take you for a brothel-visiting man." she said calmly.

Mikael gulped. "Well, I got 10 free nights… might as well use it…"

"So 9 nights left?" she questioned.

"Nah, I think I'm done." he chuckled nervously.

"Good answer." she smiled as she finished cleaning. She put the cloth on a bowl, and walked away from Mikael to clean up. "So, mind telling me what this wound is all about?"

"Like I said, a Bruxa downtown," he explained. "A prostitute was killed, so her mistress issued a request in the board. The beast jumped to me from the rooftop, and she bit me in the neck, big mistake though, as you know…"

"The rot kills her." Shani hummed, as she walked back to him with two glasses of water. "So, if you don't want to bother me anymore, why are you here?"

"Well, I just want to ask if you have a job for me, you know… for paying the night."

Shani raised her eyebrow. "Well, I don't–" but before she could say anything, she froze, making Mikael confused.

"You alright?"

"Actually." Shani suddenly smiled. "I do have a job for you."

"And that is?"

"Well, coincidentally, I have a wedding to attend." she said casually. "And I want you to go with me."

"A wedding… that's nice, whose?"

"A dear friend's." she answered. "But first, I need to stop by a flower field, I haven't made a garland yet."

Mikael shrugged. "Alright, got no qualms with it."

"Wonderful…" she blushed. "So… it's a date."
