And she steps out of the room, tiny steps as people reluctantly part for her, and when her path reaches Micaiah's position in the hall she takes his hand and breaks into a longer stride and doesn't slow until they're in her room and she's thrown herself into the middle of the bed, wings outflung, pouring tears into the nearest pillow.
