    Summary

    “Stop shaking,” he says, wiping the child’s forehead with the damp cloth. She’s far more ill than he expected—her skin burns, the heat of it radiating through the fabric, and she’s too thin to be healthy. She coughs weakly into her hand, and she almost reminds him of—He looks away. He won’t allow himself to think about that. “You aren’t dead yet, and I’m not planning to kill you, either.”

    The child stills immediately—as much as she can, at least, with the chill of fever still wracking her frail body—and Scaramouche only has a moment to feel some odd, foreign emotion build in his chest.

    Scaramouche despises humans.

    Unfortunately, Dottore's newest test subject is a sickly child barely clinging to life.
