and i'm still waiting for a life that never was
If Alys shouldn’t have to do this, then neither should Tal, and the seer felt no small amount of guilt that he was the one setting about this task. Even so, it wasn’t enough to drive her to find another shovel. She simply supervised, reaching one hand out to rest on Boreal’s head, as much as comfort to the dragon as for herself.
”Oh - right. Sure, we’ll keep her somewhere safe.” She hadn’t thought that far ahead, really, not inclined to wonder about the state of Sascha’s body. At least it had been cold in Deepfrost, and the weather had yet to fully turn. Hopefully she would be well-preserved, or as well-preserved as she could be, given the circumstances.
Swallowing hard, Alys continued to speak, offering a distraction and comfort to Tal and herself. ”Well, Zavien… he’s… I think he’s having a hard time adjusting. But it seemed like it helped him to talk about it. Maea and Ronin were easier to talk to, maybe because it had been longer since they died? But all three of them said they wouldn’t change things - that, given the choice, they would still choose to come back. It made me think… even if there are challenges… hopefully Sascha won’t regret it.”
