Vera smiled, giving her a small nod. "You're pretty young to have already found your mate, but congratulations all the same. I get what you're saying...I wish I knew how Jaii was. All I know is he's alive. I guess that should be enough for now," she said, wishing they had a stronger bond. That wouldn't happen for a long time, once love and been poured into their relationship and she'd fulled given in to it.

"I can't just sit here much longer though, I'll tell you that much. If you're the healer, Jaii might need you. I have a feeling by the end of all this studying will be the last of our worries."
