Useful... welcomed... in my life before. But where there is no mind to fool, I.... I am useless. Apart from soothing and healing words, I have nothing against the dead in these ruins."</span>she lowered her head, looking away and clung to Golsha's arm just a bit tighter.<span style="color: #ff00ff">"And my swordsmanship could be better....
