Work Text:
“I can’t…”
“Yes you can.”
Encouraging words don’t usually work for her. Liandrin has learnt not to trust words, not to trust her emotions but when Lanfear speaks, she believes her. So she tries, again, hands shaking with the force of the One Power flowing through. Healing is still hard, she still struggles and even as the light around her dies she can feel Lanfear’s touch on her shoulder.
“Nearly…”
“Why do you…”
“You need to trust in me, believe in me, my Darkling… try again.”
So she does, healing hurts and she can feel her body tingling with the pressure before finally she pulls back, her eyes closing even as she sinks into the floor, Lanfear’s touch scooping her to the bed before she can fully collapse.
“Good try Darkling, that’s enough.”
