in between the light and the dark

What he didn’t know was that Riva made him uncomfortable because he was ashamed of how he had treated her. The last two days with Eris had molded him more than he wished to admit. He didn’t have the urge to drive the nail in deeper, or to make her cry again. Really he just wanted her to go. Her sad gaze made him want to get up and drown himself in the stream.
Oxide still hadn’t made up his mind about joining the Ademre, but as she tapped out his name and offered him her unconditional affection, he realized the lengths he would have to go through to get there. He sighed heavily, and winced as the sharp pain from his wounds raced over his torso. No noise of protest left him, if he was going to do this he wanted to keep as much dignity as possible. There was no good with out evil, pain without happiness, forgiveness without an apology.
”Riva.” He said, finally addressing her directly. His voice was low, and only for her. He might enlighten his little shadow of his acts later, but more likely he would keep them to himself. Despite his intoxicated state when he’d vowed it, he’d do almost anything for Eris. If she wanted Riva around to learn from he needed to do this. ”I’m sorry for what I said when we first met. I just wanted to see you hurt.” He hadn’t lied up until the part about the pack though. ”Everything about your pack was a lie. I’d die before I led anyone.” He chuckled, unsure how she would react to his attempt as rectifying his wrong. Was this what Fenris wanted from him? ”You don’t have to forgive me, but I don’t want what’s happened between us to affect Eris.” His words were soft as his deep ruby gaze shifted to the tiny white marked fisher.
