Meesei's question made Sabine pause to think. Her smile lowered slightly. What did she want to do now? There was so much to choose from. In her excited state she found the array of options overwhelming. After sparing a moment standing amongst everyone gathered, one thought came to mind that caused her to look up again with a refreshed smile, "I want to write a letter to Ariel." She said clearly, "We can send it when we reach Stormhold, but I want to write it now."

Before starting to walk to the common hut to find writing supplies, Sabine looked over her shoulder to the Hist tree. She couldn't hear the voices anymore, but she was grateful for their help. [i]Thank you,[/i] she thought, before looking forward and moving. People parted to let her through.

Fendros offered a "Well done, Sabine," and ruffled her hair as she passed, then glanced to Ahnasha next to him. "I'm amazed."

The group walked behind her a ways. Tunxeek stepped up to walk beside her and looked at her with a smile. "I don't know what the Hist showed you exactly, but I knew they would help. You are a nice person. You deserved their help."

Sabine stopped and suddenly gave Tunxeek a tight hug as well. Sabine was smiling still. It was not something Tunxeek expected after her previous responses to physical touch. However, Tunxeek had his mouth open and barely managed to wheeze, let alone return the hug with his arms clamped to his sides by Sabine's embrace. "Sa...bine. Can't...breath. Can't...breath!"

Sabine's eyes widened in realisation and she let Tunxeek go and held onto his shoulders. "You helped too. Thank you." Sabine said, before letting go and continuing to walk.

Tunxeek rubbed one arm in a little pain, but chuckled in return. "It was nothing."

In her racing thoughts, Sabine had to stop again with another realisation. She turned to Ahnasha, her eyes still sparkling and asked her hopefully. "Ahnasha, can I use your ink and a canvas to write a letter?" Sabine's tone was careful, but not out of fear, rather out of exploring the act of asking simple questions. She actively avoided doing such things beforehand. It was funny how much easier it was than she thought it would be.
