Guide eyes the girl critically, and to his credit, he does not groan. Were this Pegasus, he'd have considered her unfortunate by-catch, a creature to be turned over to human servants so that she could be re-introduced into a stable population. She's young, far too young to bear children; far too young to be a sustainable meal. He tries not to cringe at the thought. However wasteful their feeding methods in Pegasus are, they do not sink so low as to sip from young human females lest the herd be unable to recover.

Yet he cannot turn her away. He's grown far too weak to reject any sort of nourishment, however much he'd rather kick himself.

He answers her question with a slow nod, then gestures to one of the empty beds. "The process is painful beyond all that you have ever known. If you are truly prepared, lie down there."
