Garran was resting comfortably on a crate downstairs. He had gone up and retrieved a few arrows from the corpses, and was cleaning the blood off of them. It was unsettling, to look around at the wanton destruction and death with the burning ship still off in the distance. Still, he tried to put it out of his mind and focus on just getting the blood off.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shrava quickly marching towards him, her fists balled up.

“Hey,” He nodded, standing up before frowning. “What’s wrong? Did you-“

When she finally closed the distance between them, Shrava took firm hold of the front of Garran’s clothes and pulled him into her, deeply kissing him. The orc was taken off guard by the sudden gesture, but as he realized what she was doing, he began to return the favor, letting his arms slowly wrap around her.

She held the kiss for what felt like an eternity, before she broke it off in order to take a breath.

“… So what was that about?” Garran muttered.

“She just… needed to do that,” Shrava explained. “Uhm… it, she just… needed to do that.”

“… Were you worried?” Garran cocked his head.

“… In a sense,” She muttered. “This One saw all the corpses up there and… Kashya, lost to the explosion, and…”

“You knew I was alright, though…”

“Yes, but… she just, imagined it… your face on one of those corpses, and she… she scared herself…”

Garran gave her a small smile. “I’m alright… trust me, I’ll be alright… ain’t lied to you yet, have I?”

“No… of course not, but she… she worries much, yes? She does not want you to share in Kashya’s fate. She would not know what to do if you…”

“I won’t,” Garran shook his head. “I’ve gotten this far… it’s gonna take a lot more than some pirate bums and an island full of pricks to put me down...”

Shrava looked into his eyes, before resting her head on his shoulder and quietly wrapping her arms around him. “This One hopes your right.”

“I am right,” Garran said, returning the hug.
