[ But it took its toll on her. Her hand still hurts and she's still exhausted - the amount of magic she had used in the last few weeks, the amount of strain she put herself through, all because she wanted to help people. She's glad Dorian doesn't know most of it because she can imagine the tense, frowning judgement that would come.
