Dru grinned eagerly at the encouragement. She closed her fist around the bench and the stone crumbled beneath her fingertips like she was breaking a crust of bread. She tore it into two pieces and tossed one to either side, then turned to look at Morrigan, expression exultant. It lasted a second or two, then her expression flagged and faltered. She felt dizzy; the strength she was no longer using receded all in a rush and left a void in its place. Her arms trembled and she sank heavily to her knees, then sat on the damp ground with one arm braced to either side of herself to keep from falling over entirely.

Mor rushed to her, of course. Dru offered her a weak smile, aiming for reassuring. "I get tired," she explained. "It'll pass. Just... just wait a moment."
