Bethany was silent, merely nodding as she fell in step with her sister. The joke died on her tongue too; after the devastation of the day it was hardly surprising.
It wasn't as if Bethany Hawke was a stranger to destruction. She'd traveled with the Wardens now for too long to be a green girl sickened by death. Today wasn't so different, even if she knew the players far better than before.
What had her quiet was a gnawing worry in the pit of her stomach for her sister. Bethany knew how one's life could suddenly spiral out of control far better than most. She was very worried that Marian would refuse to confront it, and that would only be worse in the long run.
