Give me a direction

Free. That word still felt incomprehensible as she moved through the island, sticking to the outskirts along the beach while the conversation she had with Siren continued to run through her mind. For Aliana it seemed like being freed had simply meant continuing her life as it had been with Chimera, but for her... What did that mean for her? If she continued to spend every moment of her day with Siren the way she had been before would she just drive herself mad with heartache? But there was also the thought to contend with of the pups she was likely to bare and how that would affect things and how Chimera would likely be even more of a fixture at Siren's side because of it and that just made the ache in her chest grow deeper.

The waves washed lightly over her paws as she walked, staring down at the sand in front of her. She hated that she knew the truth of it all. She hated that weight it put on her shoulders and she almost wished that she could have continued to live in ignorant bliss, loving Siren and doting on her endlessly. The pain in her heart ate at her and made her want to be vengeful. The thought of admitting to Chimera what she knew had crossed her mind, but she knew she never would. She'd take the secret to her grave for Siren. No matter how much it all hurt, no matter how shattered she was, she couldn't retaliate and hurt the delicate princess.

She slowed to a stop, watching the foamy waves lap at her paws for a long moment. It felt like her thoughts were walking her in circles. Being with Siren reminded her of what she couldn't have, but leaving and striking out on her own hurt in its own way and the thought of living without a job or a purpose worried her. She was free, but... Is that what she wanted? Isn't that what she should want? Was being free without the woman she loved worth it? Her jaw tightened and she turned away from the beach, walking back toward the center of the island to seek out the male that she had avoided at all costs since the day she was traded for Aliana. She couldn't make the decision so she needed someone else to make it for her. He was easy enough to find and once she was certain he was on his own she approached him with her head held low. "Chimera, may I speak with you for a moment?"

"Dalila"
