By Saturday morning, Arion had been home for two days and had already become difficult.
Victor had discharged him only after repeating the same warnings often enough that Dean could recite them from memory, while Seven had performed his own examination afterward and agreed that Arion's pheromonal system had returned to baseline.
Arion's scans were normal by every conventional measure; the black glandular lines had disappeared, his blood pressure had stabilized, and he no longer became dizzy when standing. Victor still wanted several weeks of observation before Arion attempted another restoration, particularly with an elder.
Dean had upgraded that recommendation into law.
Arion was not allowed near the restricted forest this weekend.
He was not allowed to work from his office.
He was not allowed to reinterpret answering fifty messages from the sofa as resting.
