[ that's another story. brilith goes to pick up her staff. ]
There's no need to continue this conversation if that's all it is. [ she smiles, her usual armor back in its rightful place. ] I'll go, then.

No, I'm in your territory. I'll go. Don't worry about it. [ she'll start to pull herself up and head out, pulling her jacket close. ]
