Library [2/10]

Cassidy was sitting at the desk and there were several books about Valentine's Day spread around her. Of course, completely out of place was the books on Tai Chi and the book on sword fighting.

Only to Cassidy would these three things seem to be related.

Every so often one of the books on Valentine's Day would move a little and she would reach out and hold it down without looking up from her reading.

So far? This coming holiday made very little sense to her. Or maybe it was the way the island was celebrating that had her all confused.

"It's frightening sometimes, Ender," she admitted. "Because now I'm aware of it and how much my people will need me to be there for them. Before, I never knew that there could be fighting wherever I rule. I know that now and it makes me more determined to be a good Queen and take care of my people. But, it's also scary."

"It'd be more worrisome if you weren't scared," Ender replied. "Because that would mean you wouldn't care enough, and you wouldn't watch your steps enough, and people wouldn't be able to rely on you seeing danger before it comes. It's healthy, as long as it doesn't own you."

"And I do care a great deal," she said softly. "I care so much about them -- especially since I've met a Warlord Prince and a Healer from where things are so much worse than I could have ever imagined. I want to be able to make a good difference for them."

"I think you might be on the road, though I don't know how bad Dharo's gotten," he said. "It sounds like things haven't been as bad as in Glacia."

She shook her head. "No, from what I understand and from what Karla has told me, Dharo hasn't gotten as bad as what she has seen or has had happen in Glacia."
