It was a beautiful necklace, intricately carven from a perfect blue gem.

A betrothal, cold and binding, held in her hands.

Healer's hands, hands that did a gentle woman's work, saving lives and soothing wounds. Hands that needed, wanted, to feel the rush of the water, the ice of battle and sweet, triumphant victory.

And she knew he would understand.
