"She has asked for time to consider my proposal." The words were not laced with a bitter tone, but there was a noticeable hue of regret. That was promptly banished, and easily justified as a man's response to having not received a reply in the affirmative. "I do not fault her for this. She has her country to consider, as well as the possibilities which lie in whatever powers brought us here."
He stopped alongside Larsa, looking off into the distance. "I shall not desist for seeking a way to return us all to whence we belong. Yet I consider that if I am slated to meet my death, then I would lead my life so that it matters, while I have the time to grasp hold of it. And that perhaps, I might find when that day comes, I belong here, by her side, rather in a grave."
Unfortunately, he still was not sold that he could not find a way to outfox this supposed death that was coming and put down Ondore once and for all. Forewarned was forearmed, after all. Still, it would not do to have Larsa suspicious, and there was a great quantity of truth in what he said. His voice dropped, into tones only for his brother's ears. "There is no other I have or ever will know, who I will ever come to care for as I do her."
