Talian didn't like D'ren, but he felt a sting of sympathy just the same. He knew how painful Tansy poisoning was, and the implications of a fatherless daughter made things even worse. Talian didn't know much about the fatherless daughter he'd left behind, just that she was exactly that. If things went poorly in the near future, she would probably remain that way for the entirety of her life.
He thought about it in passing sometimes. What would Fiora tell her? 'Your daddy was a genius'? 'Your daddy was murdered by your grandfather'? 'Your daddy abandoned us'? He supposed he'd never know, but that was largely his pessimism speaking. Even if he was unfortunate and Impressed, there was at least the chance of visiting one day...but wouldn't that be an intrusion? He wouldn't have wanted a father to come barging back into his life after turns of absence, no matter what the reason was or who was at fault.
All in all, Talian let it go. It was interesting to think about, though.
"I hope you're able to do that," Talian said in a light, crisp voice. He whistled softly and patted his knee, summoning Fellis back to him. The fire lizard chirped and snapped his head towards his bonded before hopping across the table and leaping obediently into the healer's lap. Talian stroked him lightly and smiled. Fellis was such a good little friend.
"I wish I could offer you more information. I've heard rumors that I'll be allowed near him again soon, but who knows.." he said, trailing off a bit. He exhaled softly, then rose to his feet. "I don't like him, Jada. But I do wish him the best just the same." He sighed a little bit, then reached for the herb bag he'd tucked into his pocket earlier, before leaving.
He dropped it on the table. "That's dried thymus. Put one crushed leaf in a cup of boiling water and let it steep, then once it's cooled, have him drink it. It'll help, much more than the crap they're giving him now." He smiled a little bit and nodded politely. "I've checked his charts; the dosage should be right for his weight and age. He won't end up like me," he said with the faintest hint of humor. No, D'ren wouldn't end up like him...in either context.
"Good day, Jada."
