Re: Anlundar Plains
"I never said I didn't trust you to begin with, though I have no idea why." Isha says quietly once Kiyo drifted off. "And perhaps, sight itself can be a weakness in combat as much as blindness can be."

She says once Kiyo fully wakes, then settles down herself. Without something to place her back against, she shifted around uncomfortably for a while before finally going and putting her back against a wolf and falling asleep there.
