Once we returned to camp, we immediately headed to get some food before we did anything else. Zirani, of course, had returned to her core. While the steel heart was a kind and understanding sect, neither of us thought it would be a good idea for her to show herself. Even if they were alright with it, the chances of word spreading would be high and that would attract people from all over the plains, and no doubt a lot of them would have bad intentions.
It was unfortunate, and I could tell it was grating on Zirani in a way. Beyond the great scar, she would be able to walk around freely in most places and in a few would be treated like royalty, but here she was forced to hide.
