Killer in the Mirror [DM]
DEATHMATCH VS ELIAS
Acere had fallen silent, only his short sentence minutes later reaching her ears. she didn't look at him as the pair continued on with their walk back north. "yes" Heloise said simply at first, giving a curt nod as to shake her feelings away from her body. "I understand." she understood loving someone only for them to disappoint her with their actions. she understood the burden it was to decide to act against them, and ultimately the conflict she felt afterward.
the brief spurts of anger at her king for running off alone seemed to have vanished. she only hoped next time, he would include her. even if she was to spectate his will, she would rather be here for him if he should fall. to let him know that someone was near, someone loyal to him that would help him breathe his last. or at least carry his body back to his people. they deserved to know he fell. a blessing, then, that the man Acere killed was known to him. Heloise could not imagine a stranger standing over oneself while they died. the last thing they saw was their defeater.
and how utterly lonely that would be, for their soul to remain in torment. "let me know... if you need anything in the following days" she went on "I shall keep the facade. your people will not know." it was important that Acere healed best he could, even if he would soon forget the man he killed, for it could make a lasting impression upon him and the people surrounding him.
