Placing the kettle on a tray, he added to cups, then brought it over to her, balancing it on one hand. Astra had already joined the Loreseeker, the luxere peering up curiously at at the ball of light. The healer smiled at it and reached out his palm. "Nice to meet you Shii."
Then he turned to face the pale woman. "What's wrong?" It came out a little bluntly, and he poured them both a cup of the tea.
