Healing Presence

Rest had never felt comfortable around Eilish. She was a formidable presence, the opposite of the soothing warmth of Viola and Primula. He didn't dislike her, but she always made him feel on edge.

(She's the complete opposite of a 'healing presence,' that's for sure.)

"Now, I've already been briefed on the situation, but I want to hear every detail from you. Leave nothing out."

Rest took a seat on the sofa as Albert gestured for him to begin. After a deep breath, he started recounting the events of the rebellion, leaving no stone unturned.

"I started the battle by casting the first spell. Under the Crown Prince's orders, I unleashed the same magic that had defeated the beast Sabnock, targeting the enemy's front lines…"

The Rosemary couple listened intently as Rest told his story. When he finally finished, they both let out a long sigh.

"Well, that was… more impressive than I had imagined," Albert muttered.
