"And I assume you refused?" Carus smiled softly and shook his head. "You know as well as I that he would have never kept his word."

"Of course I refused." she said softly, bobbing her head, tilting her head to him a bit.

She smiled, blushing slightly, turning her head away again, looking shy again now. She hardly knew what to say to any of this, wanting the subject to move to other things but not wanting to ask him to. It had been so long since they spoke, she would not want to make him feel unwelcome to talk with her.

He smiled and snapped his fingers, a silver platter carrying a pot of tea appearing before her.

Showing a small smile, she bobbed her head, accepting a cup of tea. "Thank you very much." she said softly, inhaling the fragrance before taking a sip, sighing contently.

"You are feeling better?" she asked cheerfully, looking to him with a shy smile.

"Aye, although my arm is still a bit stiff. Ah well, it's just another scar..."

Drinking the rest of her tea, she set the cup on the ground beside her, leaning closer to David. Gently taking his arm in her own, she uncovered his arm, cradling with one arm, gently trailing her fingers over the scar, looking at him with apology. "Do you like when you gain scars? I know Ali does .. Yawg too .. badge of honor they say." she said softly, looking at the progress of the healing. "I do not scar .. always heal perfectly as if I have never been injured."

"I do not like gaining scars, but I make no move to remove them." He smiled at her, a quizical look on his face. "That is not true. Although your body carries no marks, your mind and heart still bear them."

"Aye." she said softly, looking still at his scar with a small smile. She was not sure what to say, but she was deeply moved that he understood. "The children whom I could have played with when young discovered this .. for an entire summer, they tried to injure me greatly enough that they would be able to see a scar form, despite my assuring them I heal perfectly every time."

"That summer taught me patience and acceptance of my fate." she said softly, smiling at him.

He smiled softly and took her hand, gently squeezing it.
