It had been a tremendous relief when the Fae child sampled the syrup mixture. The flavor had been enough to hide the emetic as he happily guzzled down the medicine. And that has led to a further great relief - the emetic had worked on Fenn as it was supposed to.

Fenn vomited up the sticky honey-golden mess of candy and chemicals that he had greedily consumed, emptying the contents of his stomach onto the floor beside his head. He had stared at the mess for a moment with wide eyes, then begun giggling madly before passing out. Well. Maybe he hadn't gotten all of the numbing agent out of Fenn's body, but enough had come out that Nevin felt fairly safe in thinking that the boy wasn't going into a fatal overdose state.

It was as Nevin was trembling slightly as the endorphins of adrenaline left his body that he heard a worrying sound. It sounded faintly like.... screaming? He looked up towards the front of the shop, and realized with a bolt of concern that he could no longer see the dire wolf. Had the boy's consciousness been keeping the beast from attacking the villagers, and now with him unconscious it was running wild? He started to get up -

and then his door was gone. It took Nevin a full two seconds to process what had happened. The massive direwolf was now in his shop, the shattered remains of his front door laying on the ground just inside the doorway. He about to finish standing up when the beast fixed him with a fiery eye, freezing him in place.

Not good not good not good. Worse, the beast had come inside, obviously targeting the being who had kept her enthralled. Even as the frozen Alchemist watched she padded over to the sleeping boy and... stood protectively over him? OK, that was not what Nevin had been fearing would happen. The terrifying dog whuffed in his direction, sweeping her nose from man to the child in one motion.

Was.. Was she telling him to make the boy better? The massive hound continued to stare at him with one eye, the orb fixed on him from a terrifying Visage. But now, up close, Nevin could see concern in the eye whenever it flicked down to Fenn. Oh.

"Peace, peace. The child will be alright - he got greedy and consumed too much of something that tasted good but was actually bad for him. I already managed to get the bad stuff out of him." He tilted his head towards the honey-gold mess that she was almost standing in as she tried protecting the boy.
