Henrik smiled and walked up to her with slow steps. If he wasn't wearing his battle armor most people would assume it was a frail maiden under there.

"No, they aren't. I told you, nothing about you is filthy," he said in his usual gentle voice.

"Take a deep breath, focus only on me."

She followed his instructions and breathed in and out several times before meeting his gaze once more.

"Will you listen to me please? Just this once?" she implored again, "This is not like any of the times before. I can feel something terrible is going to happen here and there is nothing any of us can do to stop it."
