She was distraught and she knew she was over reacting, but she couldn?t stop herself. The tears still spilled freely over her eyes and she felt in her heart of hearts like she was breaking. She didn?t even understand why this mattered so much, or why it hurt so freely. People had left before, friends had come and gone and she had almost forgotten their passing, had found other friends and had her family as a steady beat beside her. Why did it break her to think of Bass leaving her, why was she such a mess, pouring out her heard through her eyes ducts, heaving her chest until she could not breathe.
He would speak again, his words soft, begging her to calm and to be okay. She drew in a ragged breath and listened to his words. He wanted take her away, he did, but he did not want to stay. In his mind staying did not exist, adventure, leadership and power lay just outside the border of Valhalla for him, and all that remained in them was her. It was obvious to her which he had chosen, and he may truly wish with all his heart that she would follow him, but not even for her what he stay.
The thought of joining with him, of being his princess was there, bright in her thoughts, but leaving her family was not something she had ever considered before and nor was it something she thought she was capable of. She loved Val and Emer, and Signy and Taddeo, they were a part of her, a guarantee in her life that they would always be there for her and would love her unconditionally. No matter how much trouble she got herself into, Emer and Val had always been there for her, they always appeared when she needed them, her little angels. But they were not here now, and she did not even know what to think of her current situation. She hung her head, suddenly ashamed of her tears. Her heart and thoughts and emotions where all over the place, splattered across her mind and out of control.
He spoke again, saying that he wanted her by his side. ?But you won?t stay? she whispered ?and if I went, would I be your princess? Or just another member. Would you be Erani, would it be your right then to boss me around? Would things never be as they were?? why did he have to go and change everything? Why did he have to do it, wasn?t she good enough for him?
