Gloves are comin' off [Kirsi]

Had his throat ever felt so tight before? It was all Ig could do to keep his expression neutral as she reacted to his words. All that had transpired left him disinclined to trust or give her the benefit of the doubt. Her words and actions had done nothing yet to even begin to convince him that he should reconsider how he felt about her. Then again, at this point he didn't even really know how to feel about her. As she went on, his overall discomfort increased. So that part was true. He wished it wasn't with all his heart and soul. Suddenly his memories felt somehow corrupted, tainted, blackened by the touch of Valkorion's manipulating hand in his life. It felt like when he met Kirsi's gaze it was through different eyes than he'd used before. Suddenly when he saw her, the new perspective made her different. "I... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to make of all this. At first, when I saw Avis there and then was forced to leave without so much as a goodbye to anyone, I'd held out hope that at least it was only that bastard that was responsible. When he came to gloat and rub his apparent victory in my face, I didn't want to believe him." For a moment, Ignatius simply broke off into silence, trying in vain to reorganize his thoughts and keep his emotions in check, yet he couldn't stop his lips from pursing slightly or the sheen his eyes had. Stepping back and to the side a few paces, he gave her a sidelong look before exhaling a breath he hadn't realized he'd held. "I'm not entirely certain what else to say, Kirsi. I'm pretty sure I should be pissed at you. Somehow I don't want to be though. But I also can't just let go of the fact that everything we had was initially built on a foundation of deception." After taking a few steps away, he paused, and added, "If any part of it was real, the best thing you can offer me right now is space and time. I'm not interested in losing anyone else but... I can't trust myself right now to make a rational decision about how to handle... us." |
