Chapter 93
- Morvienne's breath caught as Thalira suddenly wrapped her arms around her. Her eyes darted around, confused by the sudden gesture and unsure what had brought it on. But after a few moments, she slowly turned and returned the hug.

- The hug lingered for a long while, Thalira's shoulders shaking with the last of her tears with Morvienne's arms still steady and warm around her.
