She would not even look his way. The woman was pissed, he could tell. Even though her exterior remained emotionless - as always - her incessantly moving tail and biting words let him know that she was indeed boiling inside. The King remained where he stood, not advancing nor retreating, but remaining steadfast. This would not be a happy encounter, but it was a necessary one. Why oh why had his life turned to necessity only? "I disagree," He took one step forward, but it was one that barely brought him any closer to her. Eyes of amethyst gazed to the shoreline where the waves lazily lapped at the sand. "I never wished to cause you strife. I never wished to put unnecessary stress on your new relationship, I only meant to ensure that the weight of our laws was adequately displayed. Perhaps I acted rashly, or did not take the proper amount of time to put my feelings aside, but I wish you could see things from my angle, if only for a moment." He paused. "But perhaps I'm selfish in saying that. How would you have had me react, if you could control it?" It was a curious question, one that he would listen to with every fiber of his being. If she thought he'd been too harsh, he would want to hear her criticism, to hear her alternative ideas of how he could have handled the situation. A pensive expression would cast over his face as he continued to stare out into the surf, watching the white capped waves roll in, only to be sucked back out into the belly of the ocean. He understood her pain, shared in it - even - but he could not take back what he had done, and some part of him knew that even if he could, he wouldn't. Justice had to be served, that was an absolute truth. "speeeeech" |
