'Cause either I get there or don't, Those are both things that I know
Even after the final Villi dissipated into nothingness and Hadama gave her a nod, Aurelia found herself tossing her head this way and that to check their surroundings for any further onslaughts. However, aside from the voices of her companions, the hills had returned to stillness.
Her green gaze settled upon the rest of the group as Talyson's question finally registered. Instinctively bringing her fingers up to touch the place where the Villi had grabbed her, she felt not a single mark. Zavien's chest also no longer bore those gnarly gashes, though his clothes were still cut - evidence that it had, at least, been real. With a quick and slightly knowing glance at Hadama, she answered Talyson, "I'm okay." And to Zavien, she said, "Hey, thanks for having my back too. That was close."
At the suggestion of calling it a night, Aurelia's shoulders relaxed and the worry lines on her brow eased. "Surely we've drawn out the most aggressive ones, so hopefully the Barrows will be a little safer - for a time," she piped up, eyeing Talyson's expression as she tried to gauge whether or not he agreed. Even if she herself had plenty of firepower to spare, she understood Hadama's point and didn't think it wise to push. "But if need be, I'm more than willing to come back and help again."
