Crystal Fellowship (Season 6): War Scars

[sometime after Faelor's trial, during downtime/camping when everyone else is asleep or occupied Dahlia goes to find Faelor alone.] "Hey. Drink?" She offers him her flask.
*Faelor puts his hand out for Dahlia to place there. His eyes are fixed and unmoving as he looks at the blade in his other hand. *
"Sorry doesn't cut it, does it? Listen.. I um... I know this probably won't mean anything to you or help in any way, but i't meant to okay, so just, remember that. " Dhalia takes a deep breath and looks down at the ground. "You're not the only one who has had to choose between their sister and Io. I don't know if Io and Faron know about this or remember it, but when I got my aspect, my symbol. It didn't happen for me like it did for everyone else. I went to the wall touched the symbol and instead of waking up like everyone else, I went somewhere else first. I was on this giant clock thing and there was this voice, and there was Iris. Standing right in front of me. The voice told me I could have her back. I was so sure it was a trick, you know. Absolutely positive that my sister was dead and never coming back. I had a choice, wake up and go with Io or reach out, grab my sister's hand and she would be alive again, and I would be a darkheart. I'm not always sure I made the right decsion you know, but I figure we win this thing and it was worth it, I didn't keep her from living for nothing." "I know it's not the same, but ... yeah"
Faelor takes the flask from her hands and downing the entire contents suddenly jerking his head and looks at Dahila with a piercing stare he nods
They sit there in silence for a minute before Dahlia gets up pats Faelor on the shoulder and leaves him with the flask.
