Beating heart of stone

*Aranea* · 03-28-2021, 01:22 PM

Aranea had felt her own tension throughout the day though she spent most of her energy and her efforts into her children, leaving Allegro on the sidelines in her mind. She wanted to avoid him, if not for the thought of Ulric lurking around somewhere she didn’t want Allegro to look into her eyes and see what would hurt him. But because she had practically ignored him all day, she wasn’t keen to see that he had noticed her tension.

She couldn’t really keep on with her charades any longer once they were behind her closed door. Even as much as she wanted to. Her gentle eyes came to meet his after what felt like an eternity when he spoke. She felt a relief when doing so, when her eyes could follow his. "I missed you too..." It wasn’t a lie, in fact it might have even been an excuse. Not that she was so willing to just confess what she had been doing for the last season or so.

She couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face and pulled back ears as Allegro said what came next. But she didn’t really know what to say in response. Calling Ulric out didn’t feel right to her. Was Allegro going to make a scene? Threaten Ulric? It wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t either of their faults. "Allegro, I-" She kept her gaze to his, stepping forward towards him. After avoiding looking at him all day, she didn't want to break her gaze even if he chose not to look at her. "I'm sorry..." Sorry for what she had done? Sorry she couldn't give him a name? All of it. She was just sorry. She didn't know what else to say. All she wanted to do was not make him feel the way he was feeling. And she knew she was to blame, but she tried her hardest not to acknowledge that it was at least in her mind.
