When the morning came, Lauressa linked with Freida. She remembered that Felix had been there to help her so he had probably filled Freida in on all the gory details, but she didn't want Freida to worry. She remained in bed, huddled in Gale's arms. Even as he was sleeping, his face looked troubled. Lauressa pondered for a moment but thought of an interesting way to cheer him up.
She wiggled out of his grip and went to slide under the covers when Freida responded to her through the link. She sighed but took her time to reply.
"What an absolutely arsehole!" Freida said with a raised voice. A benefit to the link is that you couldn't shout, otherwise Lauressa was sure Freida would be using it.
"I know, but I am ok!" Lauressa tried to reassure her.
"Ok is not good enough! I will smite him."
