Tempris watched the crowd from her safe distance rubbing her arm. She was okay with this... It was normal for her to stand outside the churches and watch the congregation from afar. She was not ready to be around them. Her memories would threaten her. Even now, despite all the good she had done, they threaten to surface and take away everything from her. This was why she normally kept her distance from people, when it came to Illumin. However right now, she felt uncomfortable. Everything here was reminding her of the church activity. There was even a priest here. So she did not belong, not yet. Now with everything that happened. She existed to do Illumin's work, not exchange the word of god among its followers, among its sinners. At least that's what she told herself.
So when Fala called her out, she felt a thorn in her chest. "Scared. Ha. What's there to be scared of, They just think you did a good job... You did... I wont praise you anymore. You already have enough of it to drown it and become the embodiment of pride." Tempris took a step back and looked away, hoping that would convince the woman to leave her alone. However, it had the opposite effect. The girl grabbed her arm and dragged her to the center where they were building a bond fire. There she was made to sit on a blanket close enough to bath in the pressure of the Inferno. But with everyone around her, she still felt cold. The reason why... she was scared. She was scared of what this moment might remind her of.
"Y-y-yes..." she stammered struggling to contain her cold feeling clouding her mind, "Supplies... are you sure... It might disappear. Do we have time to wait." She struggle to keep her words at an audible level with the commotion around her. Still, she hoped most of her words go through.
