They are all inside, and they are all safe. As Amalia makes her way through the door she at last exhales a sigh of relief, the qilin's song dying on her lips as exhaustion and terror begins at last to creep in.
But her work is not done. Gently but firmly, the qilin nudges Remi away from the group that surrounds Rexanna and toward a quiet corner near the fire. You've done enough, she murmurs softly through the Attuned bond, fondness and affection taking any sting from the words.
Settling onto the ground, she invites the man to rest against her until Ronin arrives, nuzzling his curls affectionately. She would have liked to have taken him upstairs to clean up and sleep, but has no illusions about her ability to drag him away while the fate of the others remains uncertain. Deimos and the unicorns will take care of her and Sam. What... What happened out there?

Amalia & Jyoti
WE MIGHT BE HOLLOW, BUT WE'RE BRAVE
