Mingyue returned while Alex was checking the mark above Thepes's knee.
"The worst of the wounded are being moved into Edonia," she said. "Selene has people receiving them. Dorian is keeping the streets around the beds clear."
Alex nodded. Vesa had checked the approach after Arachne's strands withdrew, then reopened the Edonia route with receivers waiting beyond it. The first beds had crossed without the pull that made her cancel the earlier entrance.
"The human patients?"
"Those who need it. Their attendants are going with them."
"Keep their attendants with them," Alex said.
Alex stood and let Mingyue inspect the ice at Thepes's wrist. The bandage beneath his clothes had stayed dry since the last check. He could lift his left hand without the shoulder opening again, though holding it up still hurt.
"Selene can spare a search party now," Mingyue added. "The people who couldn't wait are across. The others have attendants."
