[ His voice is very quiet and strained, nearly a whisper. ]

By the grace of God... I'm alive. He really is looking out for me...

But... the others...

Ah, Justin, I wondered where you had gone.

[blade_of_faith]

Yes, I suppose I didn't manage to make it out quite as unscathed as some of the others... To still be alive right now is most definitely a blessing, however.

[dofaye]

It is indeed. I'm glad to see that you're all right, especially since I had hoped to stay in contact with you during the holiday.

[blade_of_faith]

Oh, had you? I'm glad to have people to talk to; I'll be staying, of course... and the castle is rapidly vacating, so I'll be rather alone in my recovery otherwise.

[dofaye]

Won't you be lonely in the castle? Or do you plan to spend the entire holiday in prayer?
