Draiss looked over at her, concern on his face, and then reached over, placing his hand on hers, noting that she had sat down almost next to him, as opposed to Inaola who had put a bit of distance between them. He wasn't sure if she was doing so to let Ashara have the attention she needed or what, but he was grateful, and sent a quick thought of appreciation for letting her go first. "Then how about we go over there, just the two of us? I will just be there to be... whatever you need. A shoulder, a friend, a rock to hold to."<br/><br/>He stood up, and offered her his hand, his expression somber, before turning to Inaola and sending a thought.<em>I don't want anyone else in on this, and I am sorry that you came along just to be left behind. We will be back here, and I plan to spend a month or so, just the three of us. She needs the time alone, and you want that essence.</em><br/><br/>He nodded to Inaola, before portalling both of them to the entrance to her cave, and looking around. If Bahamut's barrier was still up, he placed a hand on it, and sent the protective dragon god a request for it to be dropped.
