”No” came his simple answer.

Heloise blinked at him, a protest dying on her lips as she wordlessly opened her mouth. Was he not going to honor his blessing and refuse to allow her to leave? If she had not been in such an injured way, she would have fought him on it. but as he spoke more, listened to his words… her cold heart broke for him. he felt unlovable because he failed someone he cared about once. “oh, Acere” she uttered softly, at last, a breath escaping her lips gently. She told him once it was not a crime to mourn, and perhaps she should see the irony in it. she was even going to suggest he let go of his past – not out of hope for his words and whatever this happened to be. But because it was healthier. She could not bring herself to say such a thing because she knew it was laughable.

The alabaster woman struggled to all fours, hovering delicately before the king before she walked slowly forward. “I loved a man once. I felt him to be good and kind” she said as she walked “he was my everything until he wasn’t anymore. I did not see his darkness and he hurt me beyond words” perhaps this would do, for now. Perhaps she could stand to tell him the whole story another time. “he is gone now; in basked light or hellfire I do not know” Heloise stopped before her king “I know what it is like to lose someone you care for. I know what it is like to shut yourself away. To dedicate yourself to your work. To feel like you owe the world for your mistakes” She would reach out to him, pressing her nose gently against his neck. Her voice shook as she continued. “but you do not have to do it alone. I told you that once, didn’t I?”

If he truly cared for her, he would let her in. maybe not all at once, but slowly. Kindly. Like she would with him. “I do not wish to leave, but I must know what I am to you. And I… would like to discover that, with you.”
