OOC>>> Sorry to hear that, Deiter [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] At my end, things are getting busy and will get worse when my posting is effected. I hope to wrap things up (this thread and the module) before then.

Mistral

She, too, had allowed Arrakis to hold on to her wrist, long after his healing powers had taken effect. Barely able to see through the well of tears that continued to flood her eyes, she gave a horrified shriek as she heard the familiar howl from the incensed ranger as he charged in.

"Don't, Larry!" ~ Instinctively, she flung herself protectively over her samaritan, her heart beating erratically against his in her wild leap ~ "He saved me..." ~ The irony was not lost on her already pounding head; she heard the rush of blood in her ears ~ "...he saved me..." ~ A curl of her raven black hair tumbled down and brushed against the half-elf's face.

"Why did you save me?" ~ The whisper was fierce, demanding. She would not take silence for an answer ~ "Tell me, why did you save me?"

It was a poignant moment. One of those she knew she would always remember. She dreaded the response, yet hungered for it. It troubled her that she resented her husband's presence, and frightened her why such thoughts were entering her head.

Somewhere, in the tangle of mess forming in her head, she knew the truth.

I do not care anymore... not about what others think... except for him... ~ And the him was not the bumbling ranger...
