Pinja Esposito:
Pinja woke up, he had not eaten yet but she was already feeling sick to her stomach. She calculated in her mind how many more months of this she would have to go through when her eyes fell on the sapphire Lek had given her. Pinja winced. She wished Lek had not given her that and hoped he could get it back without being too badly hurt.
Difyr poured a cup of tea to calm Pinja's stomach and brought it over to her. She helped her to sit up. She thought Pinja was looking a little better, less like someone waiting to die.
