"Thank you"

"And thou hast learned a new truth about thyself, and what matters to thy soul. Pride can only bring shallow comfort."

"Fleeting, so fleeting. Such gross flattery I gave myself turned to ash in my mouth. Nay, ash has history, this is less savory by far"

"Keepest thou a diary?"

"Through writing, a'times, you can spend grief into ink."

"I do have a book of shadows that in truth mroe oft works as a diary" A nod "I should mark this hard lesson in it's pages, should I not?"

"For me, i would find value in it."

A nod , still miserable but at least understanding better how to try to set things right

Zara puts out some stale gingersnaps, softened by age, to soothe the spirit.

She dunks them in the tea, a bit childling esque, but comfort is comfort

No shame in it.

And quiet company is enjoyed.

And so it was that Zara ended up serving the forces of love, and no Fiona was told this, for they can be insuferable, and might likelly take credit for it

Indeed. The SHANDA.

There shall be no shanda born of this . Sluagh understand dignity. And more gingersnaps are dunked in tea as comfort continues
