This was new- it was as if her mind had started to heal, and now the fresh scab had been torn loose and  the wound laced with salt. Perhaps it had something to do with the change in surroundings- these were not her rooms above a Guild-friendly tavern. But last night she had no energy, and little reason to be far away from her new companions- the guild ship was a rather different sort of place.It could, of course, also be because she had been far to close to death last night- and so had all of her new friends. It was, to say the least, unsettling for someone who had never really in been in a serious fight- never mind a frantic running battle in hostile terrain, against incredible numbers of bestial foes. It was NOT an experience she had any desire to repeat- but somehow she thought such scenarios might be unavoidable. For a moment she looked down at the trailing fringe of her shawl- a bit of magic had cleaned it up, but the torn edge was still there- a rent that could just as easily have been her leg, or her throat.Even so, she was not going to let her unease show- there were standards to maintain, after all. She walked gracefully into the room where her friends were waiting with her eyes clear, her back straight, and her smile at full brightness. "I'm am sorry to have come so late to our morning gathering. It is altogether a new experience to be lodging in such a place- I fear the morning came far to early," she said, her voice just a light and musical as it had been at their first meeting; certainly not like someone who had been in such dire straits last night. She did seem genuinely pleased to see that all of the others were there, and seemingly without lasting injuries. "Have you been giving thought about what we might do next?"</blockquote>
