Elora nodded slowly, with pursed lips, "That's to be expected… Her soul is still weak, we just got a little overly excited. It will likely be another day or two before she can have a short conversation."

Regardless, he felt an inquisitive pair of eyes on him, and turned to meet them. It was Ankhur.
