Penelo's blonde head dipped modestly. "Thank you, Ashe, that means a lot to me." She couldn't forget that this was her queen, and even though she considered her a friend, there was still a deeply rooted respect for her and her position.
A small pause then. Yes, she did think a great deal of Larsa. He'd been her friend, protected her for a while, wrote her letters and treated her like something special. They were close and oh how she enjoyed that, even while in the back of her mind, she knew he was an emperor. And there lay her problem.
"Yes, I do. Very much," she bit her lip, and finally looked up at Ashe. "But I don't think I can give him what he wants." It nearly killed her to even admit that. The last thing she wanted was to hurt him.
