【战锤40k同人作品翻译】 Ennui 第二十六章：重生 Reborn(24)
She was worried about me.
“I will heal, my love,” I assured her, “an Aeldari face was not made to fret.”
A flush crossed Isarae’s cheeks. “I am not fretting, I’m worried because you’ve nearly died twice over!”
“I will live as the God-Emperor wills it,” I said with a wan smile.
She clammed up at that, but nodded stiffly before smoothing out some non-existent wrinkles on the blankets, then turning to leave the room. She was checking in on me often, but I knew that she left the spire just as much.
When I’d asked why, she’d cited the rather obvious explosion of psychic light, and told me she was patrolling. It took her longer without her jetbike, but she wanted to be certain the Orks hadn’t realised that the psychic storm had been localised. It was unlikely, but possible if they had one their rare and disgusting psyker subbreeds with them.
That was what Isarae told me, but she had been lying.
Or at least, she had been hiding the entirety of the truth. It took me a moment to realise it as she was explaining her reasoning. There was the oddest tinge of ochre around her aura as she spoke, a kind of tense, unpleasant weight that felt subtly off.
