He goes before me and alights my path. He will surely speak into the hearts of those who would do me harm or grant me the strength to demonstrate his justice to them. But yes, I will be careful." Placing a comforting hand over hers, he turns back to the sleeping child, back to her, and winks. He moves back over to Brel and sits down at the boy's remaining foot. Norin takes his time cleaning the foot, deliberately moistening a cloth and wiping gently between the toes and under the nails. He then leans forward, places his forehead against the child's big toe and begins to pray. After a few private moments, Norin raises his head and pulls from his back one of his few possessions. According to his ascetic vows, he was permitted to carry nothing of value. Yet it had been none other than Heironeous who had entrusted him with the Shroud of Saint Felis. Its touch, he has seen, brings healing and sustenance to those in need. This boy, it seemed, was in such need. And so, reverently, he places the Shroud around the boy's clean foot... [/QUOTE]
