"I accepted a task provided by the elders. Would you I had let them take the child and dispose of her just to save myself from this?" At that point Dem brought her eyes to stare at the healer.
"Or would you rather I have fought for the life of that little girl?" Race aside it had been the fact that the baby had been just that, a baby, that caused her to fight. Or flee actually.
