That's... not usually how she works. You might not be, but I am. And I have hope that you heal... that... maybe another one will come to you. She would take that and try and find you someone, more than likely. If there's one to be found.
[She leans into him.]
But I'll stay. At least for now. I don't want you to be alone. If you want... you can teach me. Now that everyone knows... well...
I could use that help... but not yet. Not today, maybe not this week. Justice is dead because of me. I don't want to push things, or be... disrespectful, something like that.
[He takes a sip of his tea before setting it down so he can put an arm around Kalli.]
In the meantime, please. I'd like to teach you anything you want to learn. Healing, other magic, do you have your letters? Something constructive.
I don't know how long something like that would take. I've never heard of anything like it ever being done before.
[She nestles easily into the embrace.]
I know how to read and write, in two languages. My mother taught me. I taught Jamie some, even. But I want to learn whatever I can. Whatever can make me helpful. Needed. Not someone to be afraid of.
No one's ever done what I have before, as far as I know. And...
[He considers, holding her close.]
How are your barriers? We could work on those first if they're not there yet. You'll be protector, then. Or we can work on Haste as Adelaide applies it to cooking, sprouting a seed as Pel showed me, the options are limitless. Freedom means choices. What would you like to start with, Kalli? The choice is yours.

...what can you manage at the moment? I don't want to overtax you.

Barriers. I can manage barriers. Will that help you?

All right. Let's have you put a barrier around us and see what we're working with.
