Nory (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=666740)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/AnbOZ9J.png)</div><br/>Nory nodded along with Kailen's words. She wasn't the only one capable of cheering the other up, and sometimes he didn't give himself enough credit. She did manage to maintain her expression as his voice hitched briefly on Merryn's name, the very faintest hint of wistfulness in his voice. She couldn't say with<em>complete</em>certainty, but she'd long suspected that he'd had a crush on Merryn. She couldn't blame him, though, seeing as she still thought Merryn was very attractive herself. When she was much younger, she'd been a little jealous, although she still wasn't sure if that was because somebody else was interested in Merryn (as if half the Temple wasn't already), or because he hadn't been interested in her. Thankfully, that time had passed.<em>I wonder if he knows about Nym'alav.</em>The thought briefly darted through her mind, pushed aside for more serious concerns.<br/><br/>She locker her lilac eyes on his, wide and sincere. "Of course," she said, leaning forward to wrap her arms around Kailen in a hug. "I can't say how glad I am that we'll be sticking together a bit longer. This will be hard, but we'll do it together."
