"We can't know for sure until she chooses a Listener, but... You're loyal, and obedient, and skilled, and clever, and interested in the history and traditions of the Brotherhood."

Hum.

"Maybe it's because you picked me."

"A nice thought... Though Shadowmere is often called to serve a field agent as a steed, and I'm bound to the Sanctuary."

"Could be she's going to pick a Listener, too. Now that you're back to a Sanctuary."

"...That would be good. For many reasons."

Hug.

"It'd be fun to go out with you."

Hug! "I'd love that."

"We can hope it happens."

"Pray to the Night Mother."

"You can teach me how to do that properly."

"Of course, my dear."

There are many important elements in a full prayer, sacrifice of blood and pain among them...

Things to be approached with care and reverence.

A delicate, loving hand wielding the blade.

Mmmmm. Yes.

The best girl. 

The beloved girl.

Forever and always. 

Moving a bit fast on that one, isn't she? But Birgitta has heard that some women are really into horses...

Brat.

If she's a brat, maybe she needs correction...

Proper training. 

She's ready to learn.

And Maellys is ready to teach. 

No more sleep tonight, huh?

Is Birgitta unable to keep up?
