[Phone Call to Porom]

[After that phone call, Ursula departs the infirmary. She's tired of resting in bed, waiting to recover the rest of her strength. Stubborn as ever, the princess slips out of the castle and heads into town. She'll begin doing some stretches and then some practice moves, determined not to neglect her training.

White mage folks and others are still welcome to nag, of course.]

[Reis' head drops, but not before her heartache dims her eyes.]

My betrothed. I have not laid eyes on him in a year, save through the seer's crystal.

[Wince. She can't begin to imagine what that's like and is now even more grateful that Ceodore's with her.]

I'm so sorry....

I dare not hope that I shall see him again. Yet, I have found some small comfort in the companionship of others. It does not dull the pain, but makes it more easy to bear.

[She nods, staring off.]

That's true. Were it not for Ceodore, and my godparents, it would be unbearable.

[She manages a small smile, refocusing her gaze.]

I don't know if my companionship would help, but...at least I understand.

And I am most sorry that you should have reason to understand at all.

[There is a small smile from her, as well, accepting the offer in her own reserved way.]

Me, too...for both our sakes.
