Alexander winced as he caught the gist of Lazarus's explanation. It was as he suspected, the encounter with the plagued beast had infected Larion. Alexander had no idea what happened when a familiar become plagued but it obviously wasn't good for either member of the bond. Alexander carefully shifted a little as he was laid down to make sure he was fully upon the center of the rune and breathed a small sigh of relief, the cold floor and being able to lay down instead of trying to walk make it much easier to focus on Larion. He could only hope that whatever Lazarus was doing, it would help Larion.
