Connor wanted to hug her, to hold her together. But he didn't. Instead, he met her eyes, and said, "I never say a word I don't mean, that I don't intend to live up to" he said, his voice strong, even as he spoke softly, "I will always come through. I'll prove that to you. For now...." He shrugged "for now, you have a pole of food to eat"

Kijani smiled at him. She didn't have words to respond to his promises, so she just ran with the last thing he'd said. "It's a celebration lunch. I got my sword today, from Weaponsmaster Thor. Proof that I'm capable of carrying around a weapon- and all the responsibilities of that as well." Gently she stroked the long wooden box. "It's a beautiful blade. I'll show you later. Would you like to join me? I've got enough food for like.. five people."
