The Healer's Light, Part Four

Aphria led Neve and Erin down the golden path they'd taken previously. 

The lamia shot a couple of slightly concerned looks Neve's way on occasion due to how silent Aphria was being, but she largely ignored them. 

Mostly, Neve was just happy to be out of those rags and back in her Angel Set. Now, she was keeping her hands on her weapons, ready for anything that might happen. 

Aphria stopped just before reaching the door that would have taken Neve and Erin to the next fight. Here, she turned around, with her hands on her hips.
