Ah... think you. [ Softly, and yes, a bit of a smile. The chickens are certainly memorable. ] I am not as easy to hurt as some. I did my best to help, then, and since, as well. Between some knowledge of healing and being strong enough to physically heft some things that need moving, I thought the best way to make a difference is to be out here.

And yourself? Back then, you said that you could protect me, I hope you didn't have to do enough of that to be exhausted.

[ All reserves of power are finite, after all. ]
