*It frightens her, to acknowledge he can't somehow magically protect them all. But at the same time she can't bear to let him shoulder the blame* Please.. 'tis the Seraphim's own doing, and none of yers.

He is angry, *Maggie repeats, gently* He must be hurting, and frightened, too. We all are .. *She is. In so many ways, but she doesn't say so. Tavin is carrying too much as it is* But we are all in this tegether. We canna lose sight of that.... *she speaks to herself as much as to him*

I know ye won't, Tavin. *Maggie acknowledges, though she's caught off guard by how relieved she is to hear him say so. She squeezes his hand before releasing it, and looks back over to the flowers on the chair*
Some of us ... we'd wanted te do something for her. Bard was hoping te speak te ye about it ...
