"Well, that explains that, then." Kalia shook her head again, but this time it was accompanied with a wry smile. She bowed her head slightly, raising a hand to her temple and rubbing at her brow with a huff of a laugh. "While I distinctly dislike the Thay, I'm not surprised they didn't expect you to withstand that much strain. You gave me such a scare when I found you. I'd never seen someone wear themselves so thin from 'jamming before. Thought for sure I'd lose you." He'd been in... real bad shape. Not the worst shape, looking back at it, but enough to keep Kalia on edge until he'd rested up.

Without lifting her head, she looked up at Khadri. "I'm counting on that fireball, when push comes to shove-- just give me time to get clear. But I suppose... I hadn't looked at things from any perspective but my own. Given your past experiences, small wonder you work so hard to be involved."
