"I made sure," she said, as Ellis wrapped an arm around her, drawing her in. "I made sure nobody would die."
"You told them the story," he said.
"I gave them back Creation," she replied, voice muffled by his shirt. "But it's my hand on it, Ellis. I couldn't put my hand to my Creation without..."
This may have been compounded by outside factors, but Sam I actualfax teared up when I read those lines. Oh Clare. (Oh Murra.) Oh Ellis. Neither one could have done it without the other, and the symbiosis is perfect.
She released the man whose shoulder she'd been holding and dropped down from the well to the ground.
This bit is confusing: is she standing on the well's edge, or on the wall around it? I thought it was a typo at first, but then I wondered if I'd been picturing the scene incorrectly - I know Libris is on the wall, but Murra is just described as being next to him, which could mean standing on the well if the two structures are close enough together. Or possibly I'm overthinking this and it is a typo. *g*
