[ Trahearne lets Syrlya lead, and they leave without fanfare.
They walk in silence for a while to begin with, but it doesn't...feel good. Trahearne feels like he messed up. He feels like maybe he didn't explain himself well enough. That his feelings didn't come out of nowhere, that he doesn't arbitrarily not trust Syrlya. They have been through so much together, but romance and feelings are...new for him.
At some point in their walk, Traherane begins to speak quietly. ]
When we went on our walk on our weekend getaway through the woods, I remember looking down from the stars to see the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. That was you.
[ He looks up at the overcast sky, mimicking the same actions he took that same day. ]
I realise now, as I've gotten to know you better as...a lover, that I should have asked to kiss you, or preluded it with anything, but I did not know.
So I did not know what to think when you froze, when I felt nothing from you. I thought I'd misread. That you were not as fond of me as I, you. And those fears, my...anxiety lead to those nightmares. One of which you saw.
[ His eyes drop again, focusing on the road ahead. ]
I know you don't hate me, or think I don't deserve a second chance at life. And I hold you to absolutely no fault. You are not responsible for my poor control over my emotions. That's... That something I need to work on.
