“Thank you.” Randvi’s hand is warm thanks to her power, and it's nice to be able to share that with her new friend, even just a little. “I'll await your return.”

All of this - the touch of her hand, the assurances - reminds Randvi of the people she regularly sends off on longships. Perhaps it's not such a bad thing, anticipating a return.

Randvi says farewell to her friend and walks into the cold of the day, warm mug in her hands.
