don't turn away now
ft acere
Heloise frowned further, glancing his way at last as he spoke. he was a confusing man. he had been full of rage and hatred for the slain beast, and now he was back to normal. back to the man she still adored and nearly worshipped. her head dipped down, eyes clouded with emotion that threatened to overtake her. yes, he cared about her. but just as a friend and her superior. nothing more. she was not so delusional to hope for it. "I will rest, but I must speak first." her tone grew a bit stronger as she stared directly at him. her ears went back, flat against her skull.
"it was not fair to you, to place those... words upon you. we have had little interaction outside of Winterfell business" she would spare not her words. she had to harden herself for it, to justify her actions in some way. chalk it up to inexperience or immaturity. but Heloise would not let it be Acere's fault. "though I cannot deny... I have felt some attraction to you from the moment we met" her face grew hot again "it was... insulting to our friendship. I just felt you should know; it was never your fault I wanted to leave. it was mine." she felt she could not grow in Winterfell the way she would have liked - by Acere's side. either as a shield or a lover.
"perhaps it is best I leave soon, after I have recovered" her voice grew small as she looked down at her paws. she did not want Acere to be placed in a position that he felt he had to walk on eggshells. Winterfell was his pack.
