Talk [Segar]

Ghost thought her next words carefully, speech had never been her strong point. The voices were oft too frequent, they escaped her against her will, speaking out of turn, she preferred the silence, but realized that this situation demanded more than her lack of tones. Segar looked away ashamed, or so it seemed and that hurt the dame, more than she cared to admit. While she realized it would have been wiser to speak with the king first, she did not regret what they had done. She did not love Octavian and in the length of time she had done him a favor, what would become of a relationship built on only halves? Not in the eyes of any creature would she feel ashamed for claiming Segar as her own and the fact that he was so fast to look away made her wonder if he truly loved her as he said he did.

"While I regret not speaking with you first my liege, I do not regret what Segar and I have become. I love him with every piece of my being and I will have no other." Her words were smooth as glass, soft and gentle. She spoke with respect but feeling as well, she meant what she said. "Octavian told me nothing of his claims or his intentions until Segar had already sought out my name and my body. I adore Octavian, but as a companion, a friend. It is not my fault he announced our engagement before ever speaking to me." While the words were harsh, they were true.
