Alys felt it all, and her heart went out to her friend. To have a family and be unable to spend time with them, to be forever putting himself in harm's way for the greater good, and damn the consequences for himself - it was taking its toll, and yet he remained as stalwart as ever. And in seasons past, she might have gently suggested that he take better care of himself, if not for himself, then for those who cared for him.
But now she could feel the way he sought to reassure her before she could even get the words out, and she remained silent on that score. Instead, she merely said, "So it is." A pause, and then, because it might be easier for him to focus on others than on his own misgivings: "I've only been home once since LongNight." It was a quiet admission, for his ears alone. "Before, the region had met to see about protecting an area of King's End, but we didn't have a chance to start. Now I find that I don't want to return." It didn't feel safe anymore, not after being attacked in their own home, after what Tal had had to do to defend them.
