Bab 251: The Common Link

Tania dragged herself to where her mother was standing. Kinshra had opened the Yunabi and placed it on a fallen, moss covered log after dusting off the snow from it. The Yunabi yawned open and sighed as soon as it felt the familiar touch. Kinshra went to the page where they had left. She glanced at Tania who was appearing too tired. So, after putting a small stone as a weight over the page, she walked to her. 

"Turn," she said and Tania turned her back to her mother. Kinshra opened her daughter's hair and raked her fingers through them to remove the knots. As she did that, she used her magic to calm down her nerves. "I know you are very tired, Tania," she said. "If at any point you feel that you are unable to take it, let me know and we will stop. Okay?" 

Tania felt great when her mother raked her hair with her slim, tall fingers. In Sgiáth Bio, the magical abilities were limited, but small magics like these were fine. "I will," she said with a lazy smile.
