"I only saw it for a moment myself...but the land lies sundered. A kind local I spoke with told me so, and I ventured out to confirm it."
And good that she did, else she might have missed Agrias' arrival. Though it is Agrias rescuing herself and Ovelia beside. Agrias is kinder than Ovelia merits, saying that the once-princess might be of equal use as she.
She does her best to step in Agrias' bootprints, grasp where she grasps, letting her knight guide her as she has done so often before. Ovelia almost slips once, but manages to right herself before falling.
"There is naught... for you to apologize for.... You have ever championed... my well-being... and if you judged... that the time ill-suited your return... I have full faith... in your decision.
[Oh, this climbing is harder work than it looks! Especially with Ovelia's soft-soled slipper shoes and trailing skirts. Thank God for Agrias' guidance, else she'd never make it.]
When we return... whatever power I possess... I shall use to ensure... the slander of your good name ceases.
[This, at least, she can do for Agrias. If Delita's faction sets her upon a throne, she will have the authority to lay those accusations to rest, for Agrias and all the others who opposed the Lucavi. She can suffer through the crown's weight for their sake.]
