You're a person first, and a warrior second. A person with feelings... and limits.
[Both physical and mental. Maybe someday she wouldn't even need to be a warrior second, or third, or even at all.
She's too tall for him to embrace, so he does the next best thing he can think of, taking one of her hands so he can press the knuckles to his lips. His shard feels warmer still to the touch, comforting, though it's unclear whether the sensation is physical or from communion. Nonetheless, it feels like hanging on to a fallen star.]
Put down your burden, even if it's just for a little while. I'll be right here with you.
