For a moment, Gemini worried that he wasn't going to wake up. He was breathing, but obviously weak. Had the sand gotten into his lungs? What should she do? She didn't know how to treat that kind of ailment. Then, after what seemed like hours but was really only seconds, Shail's eyes opened. He took the water and gulped it down, and Gemini let out a silent sigh of relief. She took the cup back from him. "I'll get you more, but you must slow down." She told him, filling the cup again. "If you drink too quickly, you'll get sick and lose it all." She advised, before giving the cup back. While he drank, she dipped a cloth in some water, wrung it out and brought it over to him. She used it to gently wipe the dust off his face, then rinsed it and laid it over his forehead to cool him.
