If Safrin isn't angry its a great weight off her mind; she hadn't realized how concerned she'd been about the goddess' fury until she learned it was not directed at her.

Quests, healing, midnight water- and what has she done to deserve it but break, shatter and smolder in his arms?
It is enough to make her nearly break down into sobs again.
Nesting against her lover's chest, the Shield exhales a shuddering sigh. How will I get there? she asks him silently, the agreement tacit in the shift of her mental tone. I can't walk, and you can't carry me the whole way.
