AmaLiA
Safrin's shield
They come at last, later than she would have liked, two broken Ascended on the manticore's back. With a gasp Amalia surges toward them, then suddenly remembers the luxere. As others rush to help and assist the creatures begin to grow a little restless; they cannot be allowed to leave, scared off into the dark. Inhaling deeply she attempts to calm her mind, burying down her rising panic and fear and keeping her melodious qilin song resounding as she strides toward Remi on the ground, lowering her large head to the wounded man. The fish that swims beside her is bolstering, at least, and Jyoti greets it with a happy croon, spreading more starlight in an attempt to keep the Luxere calm.
He's lacerated, almost broken, and the girl feels the panic rising back up in her throat. Still humming, the qilin breathes deeply against her fallen friend's hair, at the same time willing the staff and shield to appear from her bracer. Both of these have healing- can you grab my horns and stand? We need to get them all inside. She knows - hopes - that Remi will know that her calm tone doesn't mean she doesn't care, only that she must not break yet, not with so much still at stake.
Once she is confident Remi is stable Amalia turns back to where the others are, calling silently to Deimos and Jigano while she and Jyoti sing. Can you get them in? Remi and I will come last... we have the staff, and a dream fish. We'll be okay.

& once again I shall kiss the sky
