[ In all honesty, Alec sort of stops paying attention once they get back to the ranch. He lets his Enhancements go, and all but collapses under his own weight. Blood loss and exhaustion sure are things, and heās down for a good couple of days.
Anne brings him meals in those first couple of days, and once she makes an offhand remark about Faraday: āYour friendās been a big help around the place.ā Alec doesnāt notice the absence of the kneejerk reaction to correct her. To glare are her and clarify āheās not my friendā. Could be the exhaustion, but for one reason or another, he lets the remark pass with little more than an acknowledging murmur around spoonfuls of soup.
By the time heās feeling well enough to be up and around, if a little stiff and sore, he makes it a point to pull Faraday aside and explain to him just how dire it is that absolutely no one learns about Mayās abilities. Not that Faraday has a whole lot of people to tell, but for Alecās peace of mind as well as Anneās, he lays it out anyway.
The gashes on his shoulders still give him trouble, throbbing and occasionally bleeding through the bandages when he moves just right and tears something open, but Anne assures him that in another day or two, May should be well enough to heal him without any adverse effects. Alec isnāt one to turn down healing from an actual healer, so sticking around doesnāt seem quite so bad, but the state of him leaves that Faraday to do all the running around.
Anneās in the middle of redressing his wounds when Faraday comes galloping up, and his shouts cause Alec to pull away from the woman with his bandages only half done. He appears on the porch of the house, Anne and her daughter trailing after him. ]
