The Sentinels shillelagh

Starbuck's ears drooped, and with it much of her posture. I did only what I thought was right, she murmured, slinking forward to try to offer physical reassurance that she was there now. It all happened so fast, but only by your leave will I go away for so long. This was not a difficult promise to make, for Starbuck still preferred the comforts of home to the rough life of a traveler. 

Larkspur is well, said she. She sent me with a message for you. She wanted you to know that she was sorry for leaving you, but that she had to go. She could not bear to be so near to Skellige, for his sins against her and her father. And lastly, but most importantly, she wanted me to tell you that she loves you, and this she said most vehemently of all, and I know it to be the truth of her heart.
