Erën sat quietly for a moment.
The battle with Anur had been something he had pushed far from his recollection. But for a moment, he was back in the midst of those ruins, wyverns threatening overhead, Anur's taunts echoing through long forgotten streets.

"I may have been the Order's First Sword, but I am far from the finest of our warriors. If they are truly still alive, and as they should be, not like... not like Te'leis and Aidathin were..." sorrow gripped him then - they had been his closest friends, close when he had even cut himself off...
He smiled quite warmly, finding that as she became more relaxed, he too was comforted. He rested his hand lightly upon her, a subtle caress with his thumb. There was a distant ache then that welled in him, as if anticipating her next words.
