074 » tell that man to ease up
[their journey isn't anywhere near done — they have a lightwarden to slay on the morrow, when they enter the qitana ravel at long last — but for now, right now, it feels like everything is going right for once. they've fought off the eulmorans, at least for the moment. those blessed that were poisoned in the conflict are now cured. y'shtola is alive. y'shtola is alive.
he'd never admit it out loud, but it's a weight off aster's heart to know that the scions are back together again. it was lonely, in a way, without them. together, they're a cohesive unit, an organization, no longer splintered at different corners of the world. it's not a family reunion just yet, aster knows; krile and tataru and the others are still on the source, waiting for them in the rising stones, and time apart has driven wedges between individual scions that he never expected. (were thancred and y'shtola always so distant with one another, or had he just been blind to it all this time? they lost something when minfilia left them, aster muses — a kind of glue, a central axis, someone to welcome them home.)
even so, this is a victory. he won't let anyone make it anything less.]
