[He helps immediately, somehow not expecting her to try to sit up on her own. Two swallows later and he takes the vial and sets it aside.]
Yeah...the apples are kinda new. But this'll help a lot with your pain, so you can get some real rest.
[He doesn't know the apple infusion's full effects, but he's aware it at least amplifies the potency of what he concocts, which is why he named such a small amount. Can't be too careful.]
You did great. [Both arms around her now, he helps her ease back to lying down again. At least the ink townsfolk really won't care that she's taking up a table in the middle of the room here.] I'm not gonna leave you, okay? Well, if Therion or Professor Albright come along, I might ask one of 'em to be here instead for a bit, but...you'll have somebody right here. It's okay to fall asleep.
[Were he in her position, apothecary knowledge or not, he'd sure worry about not waking up again, so he's trying to shove that worry aside for her, maybe even before it can happen. Alfyn shifts back a little but keeps her hand in his.]
