<span class="mu-i">“The Almighty smiles on those that give what they can.”</span> The holy woman offers a comforting hand on your brow, her eyes hold that same sadness even as her name is called for to attend to another patient down the line. <span class="mu-i">“For you. For today. It is enough.”</span>
You do not argue. You doubt you have anymore grit in you for this kind of work. Besides, it is definitely rude to argue with a woman of the cloth. People like the good sisters Ignatius and Genevieve will never wield a blade in anger, but they fight their own battles against the evils of this fallen world right here. One soul, one wound, one bandage at a time. That is why men like you exist, to keep the door barred against those that would inflict more misery than what is already in abundance through the human condition. So that the good sisters can continue with their good works.
Tomorrow is the last day of rest before the Long Walk commences. You resolve to spend some more time in the Salve Sanctum, reflecting on the hardships you’ve witnessed here. The fate of those less fortunate than yourself weighs heavily on your mind, in these times one should turn to friends and family. Your family may be a continent away, but you are not without companions here…
======================================
>Your squire has been making progress these last few weeks, at least in practical skills while his erudition is still wanting. You know that this pilgrimage is not just about your own journey, it is his too. Impressing upon the young boy the importance of the Faith, and the sacrifices a knight must make in defence of it, is as crucial as any lesson in swordplay. [Mikail]
>You’ve caught neither sight nor sound of your Fae companion since stepping ashore. You doubt she is in too much trouble, even in this City. Jess always has been the sort to be able to take care of yourself. But it may be worth sending Courageous Sky out, the two creatures of the Wild always had a kind of affinity. Who knows what slavers might try if they clue on to her true nature. [Jess the Kid]
> Your veteran Comitas companion has taken up with the regular holy knight duties around the sacred grounds with ease. He must have been stationed here long ago, a younger man. Your completion of the pilgrimage was something of a personal mission to him, and you know he remains sworn to silence. Still, you enjoy his quiet companionship. And the man may have some wisdom to offer on the trials of the Long Walk ahead. [Brother Rosseau]
