[ As clear as shattering glass. Shattering bone. How Galadriel managed it didn't matter, only that she was able to call for aid. Light and power poured out of her hands as she lay them upon Galadriel's, without thought beyond her pain, her need. It wasn't often she tapped in so deep or poured forth Compassion's power so freely- it wasn't ever since the Spire. She hadn't had to. No one needed saving quite that badly but this?
This was something neither of them had ever seen, ever felt. A bone deep exhaustion, a dimming of Galadriel's light. How something so foreign was such an integral part of her, Adelaide could not say- but a means with which to return even a shard of it needed to be found.

Eyes bright and voice steady, she asked. ]
