Synopsis[edit | edit source]
Ser Dalius roused up Cara by handing her dusty water and some bitter roots. After inspecting herself, the young woman thanks him for not doing anything to her while she was sleeping. Ser Dalius then apologized for his earlier error of judgment. If he had killed her, he would have taken an innocent life, and that is not fitting for a Knight of the Shadowed Blooms.
During their conversation, the Knight informed her that she was in the Tomb of Afiele, in the nation of Noelictus, and that he was unaware of the Earth from which she came. The young actress has once again succumbed to panic. With all the force in her arm, she gave herself a slap. The young woman clutched at her face, swearing in a very unmaidenly manner, before standing up and running, screaming for someone to end this madness — and ran straight into a coffin.
Ser Dalius extended a helping hand, explaining that while he might not know how she got here or how to bring her home, he will nevertheless help her if she lets him. When Cara was about to take his hand, the ghost suddenly withdrew his, belatedly realizing that the frost may hurt her. She found the gesture to be quite human, and both the [Singer] and [Knight] blinked at each other. She then conveyed her word of thanks, and the Knight made a small bow while smiling ruefully.
