It appeared that the gravity of what she'd done was finally sinking in. Not only had she made him look weak but Imperium as well. In a split second his confidence in her had been shattered; she'd shown him just how flimsy her loyalty was. Rhythm said she was sorry and admitted she'd failed, but what weight did her words carry? Who was to say the next time her heart bled over a cause that she wouldn't walk away from him again? Her step forward didn't go unnoticed. Valen's ears flicked back briefly. He wanted to accept her back, to believe her without question, but it wasn't that easy. Her betrayal had cut him deeply and the damage was still fresh. For now he wanted her to keep her distance. His voice grave, he said, "I feel the same, you mean the world to me." Valentine slowly shook his head, his eyes never leaving Rhythm's face. "But you have your work cut out for you." He didn't have a solution to offer. He needed to see it with his own eyes. If she meant it she needed to live it. |
NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
