OVER THE NEXT DAY AND A HALF, LIA PERIODICALLY CHECKS ON THE YOUNG MAN AT THE HEALERS. THE YOUNG MAN WAS BROUGHT TO THE HEALERS (KNOWN TO HUMANS AS A HOSPITAL) DURING HIS LONG SLEEP. THE YOUNG MAN SEPT THE ENTIRE TIME, THEN FINIALLY WAKES UP, UNSURE OF WHERE HE IS AND IN PAIN...
"Ahhhhhh!" He screams in pain and agony, as his leg throbbing and shooting. He says loudly: "Put me back to sleep! It hurts!"
The doctor uses some medicine to slowly numb the pain and put him back to sleep. It takes about 5 minutes, but the young man to fall asleep.
"I wish that he would just tell me his name!" Lia says desperate to know the answer to her question, sitting next to where the young man is sleeping and indirectly talking to herself out loud. "Whenever will he tell me his name?"
LATER AT THE HEALERS...
The young man wakes up, panting and gasping for breath. Then he sits up slowly, placing his hands behind him to push his body up.
Lia had requested that if he wakes up, one of the nurses come alert her. A nurse notices him begin to sit up and so she goes to alert the princess.

A nurse rushes into Lia's chamber, and begins talking frantically. "He... man... awake..." She says out of breath, it's almost as if she ran all the way here.
"Wow, calm down. Breath, then talk." Lia says calmly.
"The Elf that you saved is awake." The nurse says after a few dead breaths, talking about the young man as she had no clue that he was a human.
