?I expected nothing!? The man roared suddenly. ?I had hoped she?d prove to be all you said, that at the very least she?d be on her best behavior for you. Because love takes sacrifices, you?re not always going to agree to!? He was seething, he had known the woman?s nature but a part of him had been willing to look past it for his son. ?But you do it anyways because it means getting to see the one you love, get to see them happy! That was what she was supposed to do.? He paused, dropping his head and clearly trying to regain his composure. ?It was not going to be permanent.? He said through clenched jaw. ?All she had to do was prove that her love for you outweighed her ambitions!? A sigh left his lips and the russet man fell to his haunches too, feeling his wounds ache. ?Apollo the last thing I ever wanted to do was have you make this choice. I understand the weight of it more than you can imagine.? For a moment his gaze grew distant, glimmers of long suppressed memories dancing across his eyes for a second. Then they faded and the man sighed again. ?I do not know.? He admitted. Then the boy spoke of rule changes and the hardness returned. ?Some things will be taken into consideration, but the laws of the Gods are not ours to tweak; and I?m done dealing with traitors.? |
