Kirima sat near the fire, gently stirring the pot of water and herbs that sat in the coals. She heard Kandel enter the clearing. "I really have to apologise miss," he said. "I meant no hurt by what I said, quite the opposite. Humour keeps me out of black moods, ‘twas all I could think of to do."
She shook her head and glanced at him, attempting a smile. "You were not at fault. I should learn from your example and stay my despair. It helps me little in these dark times."
She grew quiet, seeing Kandel cock his head to listen to something. She heard the slight disturbance in the forest sounds, probably Lotar or Soran returning from wherever they had gone off to. Kirima reached to stir the pot again.
