(Leo's POV, Planet Ixtal)
It took Leo over a month to recover enough mobility to handle his day-to-day affairs without feeling completely impaired, and once he did, one of the first meetings he scheduled was a visit to the Dragon Aegon Veyr, who was undergoing rehabilitation on Ixtal under a separate team of physicians.
*Groan*
*Push*
For a while, Leo watched Veyr's rehabilitation in silence, observing the Dragon strain beneath weights that would once have meant nothing to his Transcendent body, yet now demanded visible effort, making it clear just how far he still was from reclaiming his former strength.
'He must have suffered greatly in captivity.'
Leo thought, as the sight of Veyr's weakened, atrophied muscles drove home just how prolonged and cruel that imprisonment must have been to leave him in such a state.
"All right, Lord Veyr, that will be all for today. I'll see you again tomorrow."
