Ravina was glad to see that Malachi was back to normal. They chatted during breakfast and she managed to eat what she could. Now she only prayed it would stay in her stomach. 

"I'll make you lemon juice. I was told it is good for nausea," he said, standing up to take the tray with him back to the kitchen. 

"Thank you," she said and made her way to the privy room to freshen up while he was gone.

He turned his head, his brown eyes now back to their normal dark coffee brown. He must have renewed his skin as well because she was sure yesterday before he woke up, he was pale, and after he woke up...

Her heart skipped as she recalled what happened after he woke up. She hadn't even had time to think about the kiss and already this happened. Pushing the thought away, for now, she walked over.
