[ Finding Dorian had made things easier, at least; it gave her a focus point, something to anchor herself to, and it made exploring easier. Having somewhere to go back to was good, and having people to be there when she wandered back in from the forests with new scrapes and bruises and stories to tell took some of the weight off her shoulders. It wasn't all Dorain, however, as she had quickly realised that the other Inquisitor was there too.
A part of her was at odds with him, even after their talks; he was so familiar and so different, like a reflection in a badly made mirror. Parts of her were concerned with how she presented herself, how she ought to act, what she ought to say nor not say, but the realisation that he knew her better than anyone by virtue of having lived the same life as her made those thoughts easier to manage. Anything she thought or said might be a reflection of the things he had witnessed, he had imagined, he had voiced. It made her uncertainty and some of her shame easier to bear.
It's later in the evening that she manages to take the time out to go and sit nearby him, breathing out and tilting her head up to look at the stars. Her hand is glowing and sparking, but quieter now thanks to Justice softening the pain for her. The ache is present, but it's not enough to have her out of commission. ]
planet action!
