In your Element

When Eltrys started on one strap, she worked on the other, copying him as he went as best she could. His compliment on the Hallows craftsmanship warmed her, but also left her with a pang of homesickness. She wasn’t sure if that feeling would ever fade. Would she return to them one day? A large part of her wanted to, even as another wanted her to find her own path.

She worked quietly on sewing her own strap, copying his movements with a careful eye until they had two pieces done. His more expertly made, and her rough copy.

She didn’t intend to use the piece she had made, but she put it aside in case the pack had a use for the spare. She watched as Eltrys showed her how to reattach the new strap. A vital part of caring for her armor.
