[If Night Sky sheds a single tear, Meryl is at the ready. Her hand rises higher, cradling her cheek as gingerly as possible. She thumbs beneath her eye, gentle as she can. She'll catch anything that falls and wipe it away.]

And I'm glad to have met you, Daeleth. [She tilts her head to press a kiss to the side of her nose.]

I... don't know if I believe in what Vaeros has to offer. But I also don't believe in shutting down the opportunity until we know. Especially when people like you have so much riding on something like this. [Her head shakes.] Anyone willing to act on their own like that, to put their distrust above everyone else... I don't agree with it, either.
