Eli.... Are you well?

Just working on new spell

*wipes some grit off his nose...* *flips up a few more pages of paper*
mumbles something about finding the error in here somewhere... Head gets buried in his books...

*Some time passes and Kathryn arrives back at the Guild of Light hall*

Eli, lets go fix a door, shall we?

*Eli grabs some tools and they head back out of the hall*

*Azara quickly follows behind Kathryn and Eli*

Hold up, I shall show ya a quicker way ta get there.

Sides I was gonna go fix it as soon as I finished my new ring...
piece of junk.

*tosses it in the corner as he leaves*

*Once the door from Haybert's home has been repaired, Azara comes back up to the guild hall. She steps inside and looks around for Arthos. Upon finding him, she smiles.*

Are ya ready ta go? We better get movin' and hopefully while we are gone Dallid might be able ta see if that girl is improvin'.

*Azara grabs a few things and then heads outside to wait for Arthos.*

*Arthos Grabs his gear and heads after Azara*

Dallid walks over to the room where the girl was left and knocks.

"Dallid, here. I would speak with you, if you are up for it."

*Azara opens up the door to the woman's room.*

I was wonderin' when you would get here. I am goin' to get our guest some bread. Why don't you sit here with her for awhile.

*Turns back to the girl*

I will be back in a few with some bread.

*Azara moves out of the way for Dallid to enter before leaving the two of them alone.*

The girl, awake and seemingly lucid, crouches in the far corner of the room, eating stew and drinking water. She appears frightened by newcomers and nervously eats her food as you enter. She stares at dallid as he enters, watching his every movement.

*Dallid sits against the far wall*

How are you feeling?

The girl looks at Dallid, eyes full of fear. In a shaky, almost raspy voice, she replies, "Tired...Scared...He'll find out soon I'm alive and then he'll come...come for us all."

Tears well up in her eyes..."you should have let me...die...safer that way...better for all"

She fixates on her bowl of stew, staring at it, through it. And then she softly bumps her head against the wall again and again, and the banging slowly grows in intensity...

Please sit still. Let go of your fear. Without your fear, he has no power over you. Without your fear, he is nothing.

Bear knows where we are yet we are still free. Though he has struck repeatedly, we endure. He cannot kill us because, together, we are greater than he. Bear is not all-powerful. Though he commands through fear, he himself is afraid. In that we can hold to hope. In the end, we will prevail.

*Standing in the doorway with a piece of bread, Azara carefully approaches the girl and hands it to her.*

*She smiles gently*

Do not worry about Bear. If he comes lookin' for ya, there are quite a few of us ready to stand together ta beat the livin' tar out of him. As I told ya before, ya are safe.

*Looks over at Dallid*

When the two of ya are done talkin' let me know. Meanwhile I'll be keepin' watch around here.

The girl grabs the bread and eats it with the same speed as her previous consumptions. Still staying at the far side of the room, she mutters a thanks and then focuses on Dallid.

"You feel confident because you have all these people to help you. I have no one. Someday, you will forget your struggles with Bear. He will wait, he has said as much. You will go on with your life and I will be all alone again, all alone except for the b-b-beatles that know my scent, that will follow me, and that is when he will come, finish the job he started, and you will all pay for delaying him. Unless he can find a new place, a safe place, where he can continue his studies. Perhaps it would be best if I left now before you make more promises you have no hope of keeping."
