[Riona had wondered what Justice would think of Alistair. She's ridiculously biased about him, of course, but she wants her friends to like her husband. And Justice can be a tough nut to crack, given how he can pick up on emotions and intentions. It'd have been awkward and difficult if Justice somehow found major fault with Alistair. Luckily, that doesn't seem to be the case. To say she's pleased would be an understatement.]

He is very much a good man. One of the best I know, and I'm only speaking a little bit out of bias when I say that. Also a damn good warrior, even better than I am. [She smiles wryly.] But just a little.

[That's about as happy a look on Justice as she's ever seen. She knows he cares a great deal about her well-being, but it's still nice to see it, given how... well, stern-faced he usually is.]

I did. When you love someone that much and have been with them for so long, you feel like you're missing a part of yourself when you're separated. [Or maybe it's just how she feels.]
