"I look forward to administering your reward."<br/><br/>With that, Larissa would make a quick stop by her quarters to change into a fresh shirt. She met Elaine in the great hall in short order. Offering her beloved a reassuring smile, Larissa took one of Elaine's hands in hers and gave a gentle squeeze. "Nervous? Excited? These are your people - I'm still not certain what they have been told exactly, but I look forward to seeing their surprise and relief to see you hale and healthy."
