For all his attention and strength must now be for the woman lain on the ground, cradled in his arms: his Aes Sedai.' An aftermath fic for the battle at Beltine wherein Lan and Moiraine rest and consider their next steps.

Moiraine was better with pain. She was never afraid to fall, as she knew Lan would always be there to catch her.

Set when Moiraine and Siuan have just barely been raised to Accepted and presumes they do not have a preexisting sexual relationship.
