“You couldn’t have stopped it even if you were.” Cam reminded him softly, knowing that none of them could have and that saying as much wasn’t going to be much of a comfort, but it was the truth at least.

“It’s not your fault, Thras. You didn’t fail them. You loved them and they knew that, even to the end. They wouldn’t blame you for this and they wouldn’t want to see you blame yourself either.”

“My legs work perfectly fine,” she replied, her words holding no bite. She said that every time but she never complained when he carried her anywhere. She liked being held that close to him.
