Lara opened her eyes blearily, whole body feeling stiff and as if she'd put it through the wringer, and in front of her was a mound of black fur. Ella. So she threw her arm round Ella's neck and nuzzled into her back as what she'd done yesterday came back to her.
No wonder she felt stiff and full of aches and pains, but not as full as she ought to. In particular her eye was nowhere near as swollen, and her ribs felt better than they had any right to. And she felt mentally for her magic, realising her power level was higher than it had ever been. Not that it should have been as surprising as it was; she'd been the passionate focus of a couple of hundred people's hopes and wishes, and also of quite a lot of destructive intent on both ends, far more than she normally had.
"Are you awake?" Lara's voice was soft as she spoke to the panther lying in front of her. If not she could lie there for a while.
