At Tal's sharp exhale, Alys leaned her head on his shoulder, hoping to give some of the warm support she felt from her friend, even if she could tell that he was still shaken by what had happened. Gods, she was still shaken by what had happened. It was frustrating and terrifying in equal measure. She had thought she had a good grip on what was reality and what was fiction, but perhaps she was beginning to get them confused.
"Mine, too," she whispered in agreement, gripping her teacup tightly enough to turn her knuckles white. "I saw Sascha... and then you -" She swallowed hard. "Death has never been scary for me, before now, but after that - watching those I love die right in front of me - I don't know." She took a sip of her tea, inhaling sharply as she burned the roof of her mouth. At least that was real, and she focused on that sensation, even if it hurt, to guard against the panic that overtook her at the thought of what might have happened on the Sea of Dreams, had they been alone, had the god not answered the call, had anything been different... Would they still be here, if even one of them had been absent? What if Tal hadn't thought to call on Frey?
