It is a little while later that you join the sword sister on the verandah of the tranquil gardens in the Church of the Holy Juvesenances. She is staring out across the City. A City teeming with over a million people. Nowhere in the world is so much life gathered in such proximity. Granted much of them lead a life of hardship, chained in bondage or little better, but it is life all the same.
Perhaps that is why Dame Danaca felt the need to come here after she recovered from her wounds. To be surrounded by the living, to never feel alone again. Then again, cities in Canton exist too.
It has obviously been a taxing day for her, and you struggle to find the right words.
===============================================
>“There will come a day of righteous reckoning, when their every wrong shall be made right. A day when the sun shines on Ardenne again. When we face those horrors again, will you stand with me?” You cannot heal the wounds of the body, or indeed the mind. But you can give this warrior what she desperately desires, a cause. A way forward. God Wills It. [Divine]
>You have done your duty, to the Almighty and the Kingdom both. I…I thank you. Sincerely. I know it cannot have been easy. If it helps, you are not alone.” You yourself have troubled nights, and the added burden of having no one to speak of it to. Shared misery, even in silence, is better than alone. [Hearty]
>“My Father and his inner circle of veterans had a term for it, this feeling you carry with you. Survivor’s Guilt. I’m no priest, but I do know this much. You cannot blame yourself for what happened. It is -not- your fault.” No Duchy has suffered more over the years than Romaine, no people better used to loss, to grief. Your people have learnt how to come to terms with it in their own ways. [Idealist]
