Summary
“There is no pride to be won in besting a rival at diminished capacity.”
“Rivals. Yes.” Illusen looked down. “All we’ve ever been, and all we ever will be.”
Jhudora sucked a breath through her teeth. She wasn’t about to have this conversation. “Stop your rambling,” she ordered instead. “The energy would be better spent recovering than dwelling on the past.”
---
After the confrontation with Balthazar, Illusen is too weak to make it back to her own festival unaided. Jhudora brings her back to her bluff to recover in the meantime, as she suspects Fyora would have her head if she came back without Illusen. That is all. That is the only reason.
And if memories happen to resurface in the night... they both know better than to linger on them.
