Cillian had been studying the parlor they were standing in. Books he didn’t know the names of. A hearth to keep warm at. Fancy knick knacks and baubles he didn’t know the names of. He was as curious as anyone; but knew not to touch things or stick his nose where it ought not be.
Then Nettie was commenting on the kind of man Orson was. And Cillian shrugged a shoulder at that; the man wore his honor on his sleeve for all to see. “Aye.”
And Orson would treat his Queen very well. Cillian, again, took a second to think about what she’d said. About how she wanted to flee the city, but was gladdened by the thought that Dremara would be treated rather well.
“Horrey women don’t know the Kota.” Cillian shrugged; Horrey Lords likely told horror stories about them. “Good you didn’t run; we’d have done a different dance.” That, he realized, probably made no sense. He smirked at Nettie. “...who do you think he’d have sent to find the two of you?”

Orson instinctively brought his arms around Dremara, swinging his furs around her. And even out here.. She felt frigid. Invite the sun into your body…
His eyes cast over to Senni at her explanation, rubbing Dremara’s back in attempt to warm her. Though if Senni had some semblance of treatment for what ails her? That would likely be for the best. “Dagris?”
“When she gathered and cast her great light; I saw shadows enter where they could not before.” Dagris, curiously, looked over to Senni for confirmation. “It is the same when Kota runecasters are young; and the runes take too much out of them.”
“Your treatment?” Orson asked of Dagris.
“I can say the ancient prayers;” Dagris was hesitant for a moment as he thought of it. “But I believe the Lady Y’Sennia is far more versed in purging darkness.”
Orson’s hand came up, cradling Dremara’s cheek to capture her gaze and get her to look up at him. “Come.” He didn’t bother testing her legs, simply swept an arm beneath her knees and his other around her shoulders to carry her. A nod to Senni.
“See to the men, Dagris.”
Dagris bowed his head.
