Though Dalila kept up with their routine Siren had never felt more lonely than she did now. There were no more light talks, sweet smiles, or stolen kisses. Siren felt hollow and empty, but it was better than the pain she felt when she looked at Dal, when she felt her paws running through her long fur. Her heart ached everytime they were together, and yet she still had no idea what to say. Her sorrys were not near enough to bridge the gap between them now.
When Dalila was close Siren was always on the edge of tears, the emotions were right beneath the surface. She did well to keep it bottled up, fighting internally as they went through the motions, but the spirit was long gone. Suddenly Dalila paused. Siren’s heart jumped, hoping there was nothing wrong with.. Her once love. Silence fell between them, but before Siren could speak Dalila did. Chimera had freed Aliana.
Siren was stunned. Her mind returning to when the two of them had gone after the dainty woman for her brother. Did that mean Dal had to return to Chimera? With this terrible tension that lived between them Siren wouldn’t have put blame on Dalila if she had decided that was the direction she was going to go. Dalila spoke softly, reaching a breaking point again, they were ignoring the elephant in the room for so long. This was the inevitable moment.
"My partner,” she answered softly, not able to bring her dual toned gaze to meet Dal’s soft slate eyes. She had considered Dalila free from the moment they gave Chimera Aliana, but maybe she had never been clear. In her heart Dalila was already a free woman. "I… nothing?” That hurt the worst, that Dalila felt like Siren had given her nothing, but maybe she was right. She didn’t have gifts to shower her, she was no real princess and couldn’t bestow a rank. Siren hadn’t even promised her all of herself. Dal had a right to feel slighted as Siren thought about their relationship
"Dalila, I.. want…” That was the problem wasn’t it, she was being selfish, she was being selfish through their whole relationship. "You were free the moment Chimera took Aliana in exchange. I don’t.. I never wanted to force you into anything. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” Her eyes stung and her throat tightened as she swallowed back her tears and tried to steal herself through the deep pain in her chest.
