"Good," Narron said.
He frowned at the empty sheath, glancing at the sword on the deck. Somebody would come for that later, he was sure. Nobody on the island was a thief. The sword would be returned. Cradling Ahra firmly in his arms, Narron flew. The ship was by the shore, so flying was not necessarily necessary, but definitely faster. He flew towards the fishermen's village. In the height of day, it was bursting with activity. Nets were being repaired, smoke that smelled of meat and bread emerged from cooking huts, and goods were being exchanged at the market. At the sight of Narron, a worried murmur spread among them.
A small crowd formed around Narron, making it difficult for him to land. He was bombarded with questions in rapid Yoreiqi, which he patiently answered. However, whenever someone reached to touch the sailor, Narron would do his best to move. The poor man was burnt and dehydrated- Narron doubted that despite their good intentions, the people were only make his suffering worse.
Finally, he arrived at the healer's tent. The older, wingless man had been waiting for him. He wore a clean, green sarong that wrapped around his waist and tied over his shoulder. He was also one of the few to possess glasses. He ushered Narron in, and helped lied Ahra on a soft pallet with blankets thrown over it. Though a low fire burned in the hut, it was airy and cool inside.
"He needs water, Kowiha," Narron urged in their language.
The healer nodded, and pressed a bowl full of water in Narron's hands.
"Help him drink this. Slowly. I'll go get a balm for his skin," he said. "Also ask him questions. I cannot speak Common."
"As you say," Narron agreed.
He shifted his attention to Ahra.
"I took you to a doctor," he said slowly in Common.
He helped the sailor lift his head, and held up the bowl.
"Drink slowly," he said, translating the doctor's advice. "What's your name? Where are you from?"
It occurred to Narron he had forgotten to tell his fellow fishermen what was going on, but no doubt that someone had run off to tell them. News traveled quickly on the island.
