A Note That Said I'll Love Her Till I Die

He hadn't really known what to expect as Aranea began to speak. He didn't comment on what she said about what they had been doing being correct or not. Whether she and Allegro had talked about their futures or not, it didn't really matter. What's done was done and ultimately he really only cared about how it would effect her children. As a father he had to hope that would be Allegro's top priority as well, and as soon as she explained the ultimatum she had gotten from the father of her pups he knew that was true. He had already tried to consider what it would be like if the roles were reversed and he knew that if he had the option for Azariah to be in the lives of their children - even if for some reason they were not together romantically - he would still want her to be around. He didn't know if Aranea and Allegro still had affection for each other or not, but he didn't want to know. It didn't matter. Either way, if she had a chance of being with her children that's what really mattered.

"I understand," he said softly, his gaze lingering on her with heart broken disappointment. He logically understood the reason for the deal and even if she tried to say that she wasn't going to go, he would insist she did. His soft spot for children knew no bounds and seeing them here only solidified his guilt for giving her any additional reason to want to stay. That didn't mean it hurt any less to know that he would be loosing something that was finally starting to feel right. Yet again he had found something that made him happy only to have it pulled away. It wasn't even a surprise at this point - it was more a matter of when than if once things started to look up. He gave her a slightly confused glance and asked, "But... They left today, didn't they? Why didn't you go with them?"
