~It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true~
-William James
Andronika rose to her feet as soon as the surma lord and his right hand had exited her quarters, Annia had come in sometime in between and prepared the bath hall, Andronika swallowed down her pain and headed into the bath hall. Andronika shed her clothing, wincing as she sighted the blood soaked bandage. Andronika was grateful her retainers had other matters to attend to, the young Majeir warrior did not know how she would have been able to explain this situation. Andronika slowly stepped into the bath and shut her eyes, letting the water wash away the blood gore and dirt that stained her.
