She was healed.

[so it was okay in the end, for everyone except Bor'dor. But she nods.]

He would have given information about us that could be used against us - it was too dangerous to let him go. I only have some regrets about the way it happened.

I'm glad.

[that she was healed, and that they stopped him. she's about to say something else, when another memory starts. thematic!]

[wowee! she leans in, lacing her fingers together, intrigued.]

Quite a big heroic moment. I didn't realize.

[almost immediately:]

I'm not a hero.

Why do you say that?

[not judging her, just curious.]

Because...

[pauses, trying to gather her thoughts.]

I don't want people to think of me that way. Since then, we've run into more trouble. A power vacuum like that leads to chaos, and now there are three separate armies outside our gates, and... People look at me like I need to work a miracle again, like I'm going to be able to stop them all myself just because I broke a bracelet or two years ago.

[that makes sense and makes her a bit thoughtful. she has complicated relationships with heroes herself.]

...That's wise. They never do fix all of the problems that crop up in their wake. But people will look at you like that whether or not you want them to.
