Cybil moved back around the bed, watching the poor girl sleep. Her physical wounds had been healed for a long time, but she still bore the emotional and mental wounds. They had .... tried to eat her, alive! Cybil frowned. Another point of apathy in the valley it seemed. She bent down and kissed the girls forehead before leaving the Triumvirate.
....
After a short rest, holding her husband in her arms, she spoke quietly.
"Ru'umel... I know this might be a lot to ask, and I know you have other obligations, but I need you to do something. The girl that we found in the Necropolis, she isn't doing well. The wounds in her mind are hard to counter. Even though I've been through something, it isn't anything that I could compare my experiences to." Cybil frowned, shaking her head. "And another girl was abducted, and killed. We need to know where the kidnappers are coming from. I.... I'd like you to go and observe, and track any odd people... other than just the Advent themselves. Someone needs to stop this, but we need information first." She looked into his eyes and waited while he thought. Slowly he nodded his head, and she smiled, kissed him on the forehead, and held him tight. "Thank you. We'll get to the bottom of this."
