Yes... I will. [And Royce, too, even though Royce doesn't like water or boats.] It will be okay. [Like with Alfie, she stretches her hand up toward his face.] You... and Mister Alfie... will be okay. With each other. You will be safe with each other.

Because you're friends.

[ He leans down to meet her, to let her reach his face. He closes his eyes and rests a hand on top of hers. ]

Mm. [ Royce doesn't know if he can say much more without his voice breaking. ] We'll make it. [ He takes her hand, linking their fingers, holding it. ] We'll be okay.

[ He can lie to give her some peace of mind. Just to her. ]

i thought i replied to this???

[Gently, she smooths her fingers over Royce's skin. It's tougher than before, not that she spent so much time touching his face. Tougher in age, but not old necessarily, not wrinkled; his elf heritage keeps him younger than most.

Her touch is reassuring, but fingers cold.] Yes. And... you'll come get us... But if we... don't come back... I will... find a way. I will come back... and rescue you both.

[ Royce brings her hand up to kiss her knuckles. ] I don't doubt it.

[ He's so scared she won't come back. She's done such a good job of being a source of light, here - and he doesn't know what he's going to do. She should have never gotten hurt like this to begin with. ] Rest. You just rest, for now, Emily.
