Larksong Grotto Living in a glass house

Reek's emotional state following his conversion to the faith was arguably in repair. The Seer had promised him healing in return for devotion -- and Reek was devoted to the Daystar indeed. For the first time since he had left the maplewood, Reek felt at peace. Not only with his heartbreak, but with his own sinful actions and the path that had ultimately led him here. In the cleansing light of Raas, all was forgiven. So in all honesty, Reek could answer, "I'm feeling a bit better. I've, uh— made my peace." His shoulders rolled forward in a shrug and his face lit with a small, thin smile.

While the healing light of Raas penetrated deep, some pain still remained in Reek's heart, but now he had a rock to cling to. For a moment, he fell silent and allowed his smile to speak for him, but the corners of his lips soon fell slack. "I, uh— The grotto feels empty without you and Seff around," he said, eyes falling to Vuk's paws.
