Sil took her hand and stroked it, offering comfort. She nearly threw herself in to his arms. He easily picked her up, commenting to Bandi. “If you will see a meal to her room, I will take her there and keep watch.” “Thandin has increased the house guards.” Bandi continued to speak to Sil, using a language Cameron didn’t know. She just closed her eyes, her mind full of Tendar and the ocean. Her awareness focused on him, and on Daniel. She felt so close to them both. She stood at the balcony of her room, looking out at the water. It flickered between various shades of green, so intense it was nearly painful to her human eyes. The wind danced across the wave tops, stirring up foam that looked like curls of fresh cucumbers. It was warm, and caressed her face. Bandi saw her fed while Sil was at the door. She was safe. Thandin’s home was full of Kharmon from far flung estates, all debating the testimony of the last few days.
