this archeron sister reminds her so much of emilia that her heart aches with a dull pain. the weight of grief is never far from the high lady of dawn, it’s always there; sometimes a heavy fog, other times light as mist, but ever present. cleiona isn’t even sure what it is about elain that reminds her so much of emilia, perhaps a shared softness, a kindness in spite of everything the world had given them. perhaps also the shared loss of a loved one, although the guard emilia had loved was killed and not merely alive and yet unreachable. perhaps in some ways elain’s situation is worse, having to live knowing that the one to whom she had given her heart had spurned it and her. the high lady’s teal eyes are soft as she takes a seat next to elain, offering her a warm cup of tea. “ what do you mean by that? ”
