Her breath shakes when the man's arm pierces her, and she blenches away. So this is how he did not see her....
But this cannot be right. She cannot stay like this. Surely she must be able to lessen her sons' great fear by some means.
She cannot touch them--but she will touch them. She will not be defeated so easily!
She sets her teeth together and takes in a deep breath. She stretches out her hand, remembering the feeling of Estu's skull beneath her skin...and then she does not need to remember, for she feels the bone of his head in truth.
A grin of triumph lights her face. She is not so helpless after all!
"There, ionnig," she tells him, no longer fearing that she will be heard by the other man. "See? I am here."
She reaches for Esfor's shoulder next. It takes two tries, but she touches him, too.
