I just can't stop myself

Ulric listened to her request and hesitated, but he would eventually reply with a solemn nod. He didn't agree with this. Any of this. He could perhaps understand keeping her here just to ensure that it would be impossible for her to hurt anyone else, but he wished she would at least allow them to help her be more comfortable here and let them visit. Let the healers try to help. Anything to keep him from feeling like he was locking her way here to rot. Perhaps she was right, perhaps it was inevitable, but it tore him in two to do this regardless. He could at least agree that no one could be down here unsupervised or perhaps not before he had checked to see what state she was in, but if this is what she wanted then he would follow through.

His frown deepened when she so strongly insisted that she never wanted to see Tamsyn again. Of all the wolves in the pack, he felt that Tamsyn at least deserved an opportunity to see Resin one last time if she wanted. He knew that if he had the opportunity to see Azariah again, whether it was her corpse or her returning home, he would take it. He wanted the closure and he knew Tamsyn would as well. He stood there pensively for a moment, knowing he needed to leave and retrieve Indigo, but words hung on his tongue. "She wants to see you," he told her quietly, a pained expression pulling at his face. "After I left you that night I went to check on her and you were the first thing she asked about. She wanted me to bring you to her and I told her I couldn't, but she insisted."

Ulric sighed and turned away before she could respond, walking up the stairs and out into the castle once more to go fetch the violet male so his task could finally be completed.
