AARYN
Aaryn hovered at Elreth's shoulder as she walked out. She was steady, but he could smell her uneasiness and as they passed out of the sight of the people he took her hand, twining their fingers.
She gave him a grateful glance and rubbed his arm. She looked like she was about to say something when Tarkyn appeared in front of her, his face serious.
"What is it?" Elreth asked him and he felt the jolt of nerves in her.
Tarkyn shook his head. "I just want to be close by for a time to make sure… I'm not certain what kind of response we're going to have to this."
