there's light at the edge of the darkness
All Loren did was just hold Maea. He didn't shift an inch as she sobbed into his chest. Continuing to stroke her softly, he kept his other hand on her back, just pulling her in close. Astra got up from the bed and trotted over, pressing herself against the Loreseeker's thigh and bleating softly. However, neither he nor his companion did anything to stop the pale woman from crying for as long and as much as she needed to.
As her sobs abated though, he shifted his weight slightly. Bending his knees, he lifted Maea up in a secure position, holding her against her chest. Thankfully, it was a short distance to the nearest cot, and he laid her gently on it, before sitting on the edge. Astra climbed up and settled next to the Loreseeker once more.
