KALLE

When they got back to the suite, Gahrye raced in to check Elia, but was chased back out almost immediately by a deep growl. He appeared, his face sad and haggard, but he didn't say anything. Just closed the door quickly and quietly, then slumped. Kalle hurried over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and stroking his back, laying her head against his chest.

"Hey, hey, she'll be okay. She's just struggling. It's not going to be a big deal if she takes a couple days out. Maybe by that time Reth's here to get her—I bet that will bring her out the beast faster than anything."
