despite freyjas protestations ( she was now on permanent loan from the hotel/hospital , along with a gaggle of other nurses , as supervising enfemera ( nurse ) , and was another sceptic ) alba placed her joss sticks around the room and a relaxation cd was soon sending out its subliminal message , and paco quietly administered his ministrations , but in the end he felt none of the energy flows that always came through his fingertips , it had never happened to him before , although as he dejectedly left the room he felt a slight tingling in one of his fingers when he touched it with his thumb , so he paused , touched it again , but nothing must be a touch of cramp .
