Droskar's Crucible

[Satoru Hanzo]

Satoru’s jaw hits the floor when he sees his Companion step out. He wasn’t sure how she was able to stand there like that. He was also immediately glad that he thought quickly enough to send her away after getting absorbed like that. She looked TERRIBLE! Poor thing. As combat ends and introductions begin, and healing is applied, she slowly is restored to the gorgeous fey thing she once was, and he sighs in relief. Arielle, for her part, further conveys her gratitude by slowly walking over to him, wrapping her arms around him and lifting him up in a very strong, very tender embrace. The only words she speaks can be roughly translated as “Thank you. And this is why you are not meant for the front lines.” Satoru gulps and nods in understanding.
