Return!

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm tired, Mun. What do you wish of me? I have played your games before and found little enjoyment in them.

[He looks up from darning a blanket. Why yes, he can darn. Shut up. It's manly.]

What do you mean anything is possible?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I have no choice.

[adeptable]

Not, I think, where he is concerned, no.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Did Tallo have to convince you?

[adeptable]

Some.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Only some? He must have been charming.

[adeptable]

When he put his mind to it.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

He shocked me, I admit.

[adeptable]

Your Singer?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

No, your Ashke.

[adeptable]

Ah. He can be quite...surprising.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I needed the shock.

[adeptable]

Then I am glad he gave it to you.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I think I was ashamed of myself; of my desires.

[adeptable]

I should hope you have learned by now that there is no shame in love our in loving.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Yes, I have. I know I can't help who I am attracted to, but I also know I can't take advantage of anyone.

[adeptable]

Do you think you have been?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I came very close.

[adeptable]

Did you?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

No. I preserved his innocence as much as I could.

[adeptable]

And you wonder?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

There is a part of me that's desperate.

[adeptable]

That part has not won yet, has it?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

No, it hasn't. I won't let it.

[adeptable]

Then you have little need to be so concerned, ke'chara.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I would like to think I wasn't such a carnal animal.
