Why this must be read:

I'm not usually a fan of this pairing, but for this story, I make an exception. Delenn needs reassurance after Comes an Inquisitor. Lennier provides it.

"Are you in pain?" he asked.

She looked down at her hands, now folded in her lap, and at the burns that circled her wrists. "A little," she said. "Do you think he would have been less able to hurt me if I had still been entirely Minbari?"

"I..." He rested a hand over hers, covering the marks on her wrists. "I do not think that matters," he said. "I will bring you something to help the pain, and you should sleep."

"It does matter, Lennier." She did not look at him, and she did not seem to have heard the rest of his words. "The man Kosh sent, he kept asking me the same question. He said, Who are you? But how can I know who I am, when I do not even know what I am?"
