Flowers around her babes on the funeral pyre. And branches from atn ever green tree.  She feels Sya's single tear drop onto her head. "N..ot your fault. Not your fault that other dragon came." Even the sky and the creatures of the forest keep still that day. Talia retreats to their chambers, the curtains drawn. Both she and Sya fall into a fitful sleep after a round of tears.<br/><br/>Talia goes back to working with the healers of the village. She aids Sya after the first month after the births, having been cleared by Tabitha to do so. Often she naps with him, sometimes letting him guide her around the castle. She rejoices when his sight comes back.<br/><br/>A sigh escapes her lips as she turns in their bed restless. Another night that Sya had fallen into grief. She carefully slides out of bed, unable to get to sleep. Surely there had to be something to be something to bring him back pleasure in the marriage bed. She dresses in her favorite night gown and silky robe before returning to the library.
