[open] love, love is a verb

[eolasemah]

WHO: Sina and you!
WHAT: She's awake more often and able to sit up in bed to do things. Visits will be more productive now.
WHEN: Early Drakonis
WHERE: Sina & Nari's tent in the garden
NOTES: Follow-up to this log and the direct result of this one.

The past month has been rough, and Sina has spent most of it in the Fade. Only now is she beginning to look a little more alive, able to converse and laugh without hurting herself, eating more than what Nari can manage to spoon into her mouth while she's conscious, spending her days reading tomes on magic and elvhen history from the library.
She still can't get out of bed without assistance, and the stuffiness of the sick tent is wearing on her. Sina is pale and thin, a shadow of herself, with bags under her eyes and protruding bones. She still smiles easily, however, and is grateful for company and news of outside goings-on.

She will get better. She is getting better. But it will take time.

Sina closes her eyes contentedly when Araceli leans back against her, but she can't help but catch the motion of rubbing away tears. She sits up to look at the woman's face, and reaches toward her to gently cup her cheek, her slender thumb moving over Araceli's cheekbone as though to wipe away any tears that remain.

"I know," she says quietly, her brow knit with concern, "but all the same." She lowers her hand and looks out at the flourishing garden, then lifts her gaze to Korrin with a sheepish smile. "I never want to be part of something so destructive."

Korrin's expression softens at that motion of Araceli's, ignoring her own heartache that would have made tears possible. Sina's tender response is much appreciated, and she has to refrain from giving the tiny elf woman a crushing hug that she probably wouldn't be able to withstand. She'll settle for giving her a very gentle squeeze around the shoulders, though.

"No one in their right mind would be. We still don't quite understand how it happened, but I'll join any effort to ensure that there's no repeat incident. And if anyone dares to give you grief about something beyond your control, let us know. We'll set them straight."
