Elide
Elide's expression softens, even if only by a fraction and she still retains that air of aloof coolness. Clearly he is not fine, and she feels guilty for that, eyeing the way he seems to tense as she wipes the blood off of her lips. His throat flexes with a heavy swallow and his skin pales, but instead of being honest he claims that he's fine.
She smiles softly, meaning to gloss over this awkward exchange as best she can. "I owe you a debt, Glas," she offers, "and hopefully I will be able to make good on that come Flowerbirth." At least they'll be able to agree on that, on hoping she makes it out of this alright.
She wants to apologize for the inconvenience but, the words seem to fall short. They don't come out at all, for that matter. There's only a strained silence, leaving Glas to broken thoughts and Elide to impending actions.
"I should be going..." she states after a few moments, sounding reluctant, "I have things to get in order for LongNight." In a sweep of her coat and farewells rendered, Elide makes her way out of the shop. She pauses in the doorway only for a few seconds, not looking back but looking forward. Then the door is shut, and who's to know if she will walk through it again?

never before had the song of war
been the song of hope ascending
