A little warmth
Panel 1
The pupils cheer. Neri taps the wall with her free left hand; her injured right arm remains supported in its sling.
Beginner: Mali!
Another voice: Vara's school!
Panel 2
Mali offers Teren her hand. He pauses before accepting.
No dialogue.
Panel 3
He takes her hand and begins to rise. His attention returns to the torn shoulder cloth.
Teren: I had that cloth.
Panel 4
Mali looks at the tear, then answers with a small smile. Teren returns a reluctant smile of his own.
Mali: I liked it too.
