"I used to think I was weak because I wasn't strong like the rest of you. A world so new, I had no way of telling what could hurt me and what could help me. Sidka seemed so brave for tackling any challenge, but it was a front, wasn't it? Like the mask you put on each time you use this."
"...I never wanted it. Not with all the harm it's caused me."
"But it's saved others, hasn't it? You've never used it to always harm, so much as you've used it to protect."
"Sometimes. There's always the exception."
"Right..."
"You've grown, you know. You aren't as timid as when we first met. You aren't as scared."
"I doubt I'll ever not be scared."


Dahr just wants to help in any way she can to make up for her perceived weakness, and Kadesh still needs a lot of pep talks when it comes to his magic powers. It was odd circumstances that brought them together, and its odd things that keep them together as good friends.
