"Heila, Hauke," Nyrielle said, shattering the silence that had followed Ashlynn's proclamation. "Welcome home, I hope that Sybyll wasn't too rough with you while you were in her care."
"There were a few moments that were rough," Heila said diplomatically as she thought of the moment when Lord Jalal had been struck by Loman's luminous arrow and Dame Sybyll had cried out to attack without mercy.
"But she fought hard to keep us from harm," she added, because it was true. Without Sybyll's assault on the Templars, especially Sir Tommin, the battle would have been much, much more dangerous for the Eldritch army.
