This is all probably normal. Right? And not a sign of a medical emergency in the making. Harrow needs water, probably, and rest under warm blankets.
“Yes, I’m sure,” Ingress agrees, and she pats soothing circles on Harrow’s bony back. She feels for this strong prickly girl who tries so hard to have edges that viciously slice whoever comes into contact with her. It’s a shame that blood loss and the draining effects of one’s magic are what it takes for those edges to soften.
Ingress will never tell her about her moment of weakness and slip of tongue.
After a few silent moments, Ingress lowers her head to speak softly in Harrow’s ear. “Harrow, I can take you back to Milliways from here, if you’d like. Or we can wait here a little longer until you’re ready to move on.”
She’s not sure why, exactly, that she presses a little kiss to Harrow’s temple. It just seems like the right thing to do.
