Sanvi leaned her head on his shoulder and snuggled up next to him. "I heard voices," she said. "Was someone here?"  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Yeah, Cassandra sent him to check on me," Garin said, quietly.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Do you think she'll have him come back?" Sanvi asked. "Is he like an errand boy for her or something?" His voice sounded unfamiliar, that's why she asked.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"No, he's more than an errand boy," Garin said. "He's more like a head butler, only he does dangerous stuff."  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi supposed she wasn't particularly surprised by this. "I never knew she had a butler, though I guess I should have suspected...." she said. "She just sent him here to say hi?"  

[Cecily D Aria]

"She probably thought we might have run into trouble, and sent him in case we needed help," Garin said.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi nodded again. "Is Cyrwys still frightened of me?" she asked him after a few moments.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Probably," Garin said. "That couldn't have been a good experience for her."  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi shook her head. "It wouldn't have been..." she said. "I killed her entire family in front of her..." She began to cry a little, feeling horrible for what she'd done. "A-and then I...I kidnapped her and the man wanted her for something..."  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin hugged her.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Garin, I'm a horrible person," Sanvi began to sob. "I should have gone and run, I shouldn't have done what he told me to..."  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin hugged her tighter. "What's done is done, Sanvi," He said.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi kept sobbing. She buried her face into Garin's shoulder.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin held her and rocked with her, letting her cry and trying to comfort her some.  

[marixe alcyone]

Sanvi was still sobbing and would be for a little while. "I'm horrible..." she sobbed.
Cyrwys began to wake up after a little while. She heard Sanvi crying so she stayed quiet.
