You're My Only Hope

Maker, it was good to see him again.  The last they'd seen of each other, well, Anders had not been in a good way and it was all she could do to stabilize him until others could get him back safely to Ferelden.  And of course she knew about the loss of Gefen, which had pained her as well.  Condolences didn't feel enough, but she'd still sent them.  Considering everything, he looked quite well.

She easily returned the embrace.  How long was she staying?  Now that was an excellent question.  Maybe she should have put a little more forethought into this trip of hers.  She usually did, but right now she felt a little off-kilter and it had totally slipped her mind.  [color=#68c4e8]"Not sure yet, actually.  Would you mind if it was for a few days?  I think I might need a few days."[/color] 

If this only took a few days that would be a miracle, but she didn't want to impose before he knew what she was here to ask for.

[color=#68c4e8]"Leaf sends her best, by the way,"[/color] she added as she followed him to his study.  Her sister was the only one beside Jareth who knew exactly what was going on, and she'd supported Bethany's idea to come here for a while.  At least until she knew more about how to manage things.

[color=#68c4e8]That is why I'm here, you know.  Now please, let me talk with my friend?[/color]
