Noctisardor Bypass another world

The healer suggested she go somewhere and take a nap. Druid opened her mouth to say something, though she clapped it shut to let Fiona finish. If only it were that easy, she thought.

No, she refuted when she could. No offense, but there’s no way I’m leaving you alone with my sister and our children. I don’t know you well at all. Has she even met you yet? You probably mean well, but…

It was confusing to feel so protective of the very same little ones she sometimes fantasized about murdering in cold blood. But she did. At the same time, she didn’t want to just shoot down Fiona’s offer.

I can hang on for a few more days, she said after a pensive beat of silence, during which I’d love for you to come by so both Heda and I can get to know you. Once she okays it, I’ll take you up on that break.

In the meantime, she would have something to look forward to, which made Druid feel very slightly better. She sniffled and wiped at her face a third time, glad to note the tears weren’t falling quite so fast now. She could even face the den—and the idea of going back inside it—without dying inside.
