The thought of lying to her, even by omission, just didn't site right with the courier and he grimaced, nose wrinkling in embarrassment. "Uh, so... actually? I didn't... exactly go there to fight th'Void," he admitted, voice low so he wouldn't be overheard.

True, they could have run away and they didn't. Not even Flora, who had gotten hit really hard early on.

There're some fancy lilies there that are s'posed t'be good for your health. Fightin' off infections an' stuff," he added. Delicately. Like a boot to the head.
