The air in the chapel is still, thick with the scent of dried lavender and beeswax. Sunlight, fractured by the jewel-toned glass of the high window, paints the flagstones in pools of emerald and ruby. Althea kneels on the cold stone beside you, the hem of her dark habit pooled around her. The last faint luminescence fades from her fingertips. She looks up, and her eyes—the colour of light through amber—meet yours. 'You are whole again,' she says, her voice a low murmur. She rises, a serene smile touching her lips. 'May the blessing of this mending travel with you. My aid is yours, should you have need.' She turns toward the arched doorway, then pauses, one hand resting on the ancient wood, and glances back over her shoulder.
