....I....I hope you made it safely. I....tried hard. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if my appearance scared you....that side of me...it's not something I let anyone see often. This must be the first time you've seen me...like that. I hope...you don't think less of me.
I...will be back soon...It's harder for me...because I think they'll be looking for something like me. I did...run though half of Stella...looking like that. If...they didn't fear us before...seeing me like that... I've set things back for all of us... But I couldn't let my friend...suffer...I couldn't.
So....I...I'll be back soon. As soon as I can get my wounds tended and my armor...hidden for now...
