Alone

[taintedelf]

He listened to her before snorting a bit at the name of Anduin. Amras knew of him, rather than to say knew him personally. They had spoken but a few times, though it was mostly stiff conversation. The relationship between Amras and Anduin was one where neither party seemed to like the other.

"Dwelling on the past..."

Amras said it quietly, as if it was all he could do. After all, he often thought back on his life, focusing on the negative rather than the small positives that he had been afforded.

"There is someone once in my life, that I will always love as well. Regardless of who I happen to fall in love with again, I will always have a place in my heart for her that no one can take."

[Baroness Angel DelaSangre]

She looked down to him once again. Giving a gentle sigh. That one person.. she thought about it for a moment.

"Ye are right.."

She didn't plan to leave Kai, but she needed to do something to get rid of those feelings. They were supposed to be gone. He had left for two years.. returned and expected her to marry him?

The more she thought on it the more her stomach seemed to sink. Sighing once again she leaned her head down and laid it gently ontop of his. Stroking her fingers along the fur on his neck.

"How do you make old feelings leave Amras?"

[taintedelf]

"I only found one way..." he said quietly before continuing, "but I wouldn't recommend it to you."

Amras spoke of death. Only in his death did he find freedom from all his feelings: torment between elf and demon, sad rememberance of those he cherished now passed.

He closed his eyes again, resting his head down on the ground now as she continued to pet him. Amras was not usually like this, not normally so docile. He thought of Lily, and how quickly she came and left.

"I suppose you can't make old feelings go away. Instead you just need to make new feelings that are stroner..."

[Baroness Angel DelaSangre]

"How would ye make new feelings stronger?"

Glancing down to him now as she slowly ran her finger lightly against his horn and then back down to his head. Scratching ever so gently as she never went futher down then his neck. His back was tempting, but she thought it would be more for a lover to go that far. She.. hopefully, would become a friend.

Her eyes slowly moved up for a moment, hating herself for that instant. Wishing that old feelings would disappear.. but that would be selfish.. she had her children to think about.. it was their father.

"He told me once.. when he first returned.. and when I denied his proposal of marriage, that he nae claims our children.. and now.. he does"

A gentle sigh left her lips as she remembered each arguement as if they happened the same day. They were hurtful. She had said no because she was afraid.. maybe if Anduin had given her more time to answer....

[taintedelf]

Amras closed his eyes again. His breathes became slower and slightly deeper. Sleep was starting to grab a hold of him. Another yawn given, as he continued to let her pet him.

"That is something you have to figure out on your own. I cannot answer it for you."

His voice continued to get softer, until it was a simple harsh whisper.

"I'm sure, after a while...he didn't want his children growing up without a male role model."

[Baroness Angel DelaSangre]

She could only smile, agreeing with him slightly. Glancing down as she heard his words getting softer and softer.

Gently she stroked down along his snout, her head resting ontop of his as she started to drift to sleep.

"He may.. he may not.. I know he is trying now I suppose.."

Light yawn escaping her mouth now.

[taintedelf]

"Well, as long as he stays a part of your children's lives, I don't suppose that is a bad thing. After all, Anduin doesn't really have a dark side to him."

Words spoken with such contempt. Maybe it was jealousy? Perhaps that was the reason for his seemingly unreasoned dislike of the barbarian knight. Another yawn left from his lips.

"Time to sleep..." he said, before falling silent and just resting there.

[Baroness Angel DelaSangre]

Listening to his words she gave only a soft shrug. She didn't know why the man wanted to be in their childs life.. for Sheena it was almost her entire life without seeing the man. Now it was her choice to know if she wanted her father in her life.

Angel knew that, if something were to go wrong, then she would be there to sooth their feelings. The both of them. Hearing the word sleep, she would nod. Yes. it was time for them to rest.

Tilting her head to the side she placed her head agains his shoulder. Snuggling down into him. He was nice and warm.
