   Summary

   When the Warrior of Light is poisoned, he suffers from hallucinations and is forced to relive some of the painful memories that he had never properly addressed. Gaius van Baeslar somehow got to be the unlucky fool to help him through it.

   And, in an even more preposterous turn of events, he doesn't mind.
