If nothing else, neither erstwhile Templar is in imminent danger of death or advanced brain damage, which means the operation was a success.

"Good," Barrow sighs, hefting to his feet once more as he goes to pull the lighter of the two-- Cedric-- by the arm around his shoulders, so he can help him to his own cot.

"Thanks," he barely remembers to add, offering a slightly apologetic look toward Tav as he lays the younger man down and adjusts his positioning over the mattress, turning back to go do the same for Vanya.

"You ought to pace yourself. I'm certain we'll not be the last."

Tav shrugs non-committally, leaning against a shelf as the spots in his vision become gaping holes and all the deep breathing doesn’t seem to help. At least he isn’t entirely monster if he can heal others.

He isn’t what his father made him; he isn’t just a monster.

Maybe there’s hope for him yet.

“I’ll do what I can,” he replies, voice dropping in and out as he works to stay awake.

Having finished with Vanya, Barrow sinks back down into a chair near the cot, finally succumbing to his own exhaustion. He's got something else he wants to say formulating, but it's lost when sleep overtakes him instead, cheek on hand.

Tav isn’t far behind Barrow as he leans his head against a joint in the wall and his exhaustion finally claims him as well.

[portalling]

Strange has been running back and forth across the island (truly, he has never missed his portalling so much as now), and when the message came, he’d had to hurry up from the houseboat and return to the Gallows proper. So he arrives too late to help, but when he pokes his head into the infirmary, he finds—

The immediate situation already taken care of, two unconscious patients in the beds, Tav asleep sitting on the floor, Barrow asleep in a chair. He makes a noise, a surprised little huh. He stands there for a moment, surveying the tableau; before quietly retrieving two spare blankets from a cupboard, draping them over the elf and the Master of Works, and then withdrawing to give them some rest.
