"You're safe, Kaz... safe with Larry and I. That's all that matters now..." ~ She pats Kaz's hands soothingly with her left one, then gets up to get a bowl of water for the little elf ~

"We'll always be with you..." ~ This time, she feels the tremendous fatigue threatening to overpower her. Cupping her mouth with a hand to suppress a yawn, she continues ~
"We'll go to places far away from here, Kaz, away from your nightmares..." ~ Her head droops ~
"...if you wish..." ~ It collapses on the side of the bed as she murmurs her last words ~
"...together...forever..." ~
