The Fifth Delve
In reply to Paxton (msg # 50):
"Ha! Thnank you, Paxton. I will suffer the touch of divine hands when need be. But the power of nartural healing is not to be sniffed at!"
Hearing Pock's comment, she softens her tone, "I meant you no offense, little one. And if any try to bully you, come tell me." Almarik leaves the unspoken "..and I'll cracks heads together" to be inferred. She smiles tenderly at Pock, the way one might a favourite little cousin. She then tries to persuade the door to open.
