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?

Comments

[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.

[adeptable]

I am not the one so worried.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You think it's natural?

[adeptable]

To seek comfort? Yes.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I desire more than comfort.

[adeptable]

Then why do you fight it?

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Innocence is more important. Far too many children have their innocence taken away from them.

[adeptable]

Fair enough. Still, you deserve no unhappiness.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I will follow this new path. I hope it takes me somewhere nice.

[adeptable]

It will if you make it, ke'chara.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I wish I could introduce you to him.

[adeptable]

Stefen? I have met him, once.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Where? When?

[adeptable]

I think, ke'chara, you will simply have to wait and see. Futures are a delicate thing.

[vanyel_ashkevron]

You see him…in the future? How old is he?
