Summary
Emmrich measured time by the count of Rook’s breaths — deep, slow, and, by seemingly the Maker’s grace alone, steady. But beyond that, nothing else.
The sun returned to its place in the sky — by his guess — hours ago, after Elgar’nan’s defeat, now setting low on the horizon. The two of them were alone in the room they were given at the Chantry — small and private. All that could be afforded for their hero with Minrathous still in tatters, but he was grateful for the privacy all the same. A blessing that no one witness the way he clung to her like a child, his fingers intertwined with her limp ones, breath ghosting over her knuckles, wishing, praying for her to wake.
—
Or, Rook collapses after the final battle and Emmrich stays at her bedside, despairing, until she wakes.
