Veragwen's words were kind, and Caelyn had hoped true. Maybe she was too hard on herself. She had always been that way, even growing up. If she didn't dive and get enough pearls as her very best day, she would be mad. Not just upset, but actually mad at herself. "Well I guess it's better to be hard on meself, than boast as much as a noble." she said aloud. Leaning around Veragwen, she looked to Armond and added "No offense." She offered him a wry grin and a smile. If this dandy was going to be fitting in with this band of misfits, he would most certainly need a sense of humor. 

 Caelyn saw the visible effort put into Mara's words. She knew that the girl hated the noble. But she also, had a feeling they were going to be stuck together for some time. "Thank ya Mara, you are a kind person. I hope that one day I might be havin' your strength." Caelyn just smiled at the woman. She is just as stubborn as my dad, but I could get my way with him as well. She thought to herself. 

As much pain as Caelyn was in, Armond's words about this "Blitz" made her shudder. She knew that she needed to get her strength back. She may not be able to take down a giant scorpion, but she sure as hell could distract it. Thinking about her wounds made her look over at Nayash who was looking at her. She knew the girl had to be searching for her identity. Then with all the strength she had exerted to keep up the façade that she and Caelyn had both been doing, she drifted to sleep. About an hour later she awoke, asking how long she had been out. The question made Caelyn giggle. Nayash was a strong woman, and she knew she would remember that in time. "Ah, Nayash welcome back, you were no' out for very long." Caelyn winked at her. 

Samael's words had an impact that shook Caelyn to the core. Sacrifice themselves? That would mean Mara would be forfeiting her life? Caelyn shook her head. She would not let that happen. She had found a family after going so long without one she would not lose this one too. With that thought she knew she had to get to the stones, so that her wounds would heal faster. Vera's healing abilities were amazing for conventional medicine, but the more she heard the more she realized that their situation was not. 

"Vera and Mara, might I be havin' a word with you two in private?"
