[ idly tracing lines and circles over owain's abdomen as he thinks. if it's owain— ] Early morning during summer. When the night becomes quiet save for the sound of chirping cicadas, the moon shines its brightest, and the breeze carries with it a gentle warmth.
If you have that much pride in your homeland, how could I tear you away from it? [ scooting up to kiss owain's chin ] If we have the chance, we stay in Regna Ferox.
It's true, seeing Minerva reunited with her kind and living peacefully among them would bring me nothing but joy. But it seems my heart's grown much larger than I thought possible, and now I find it difficult to fathom you leaving your current life behind.
[ shifting back down and resting his head on owain's chest again. he stares off toward the door. ] I... cannot have both, not truly, but I can have part of one and all of the other.
--Then, let us live in Wyvern Valley, together. Regna Ferox is never far from my mind and heart, not when both my parents continue to live within me. Minerva truly deserves to be united with her kind and live peacefully with them.
Your kindness humbles me. How can I let you sacrifice this much without a second's pause? [ another kiss, this time right over owain's heart. maybe there's another way after all ] Holidays and summer in Regna Ferox. The rest of the year is ours alone, in Wyvern Valley.
That's certainly an acceptable compromise. [ another kiss to the top of gerome's head ] But I'd be willing to sacrifice as much as necessary for your happiness, never forget that.
A bold claim, one I know you mean. [ gonna grab his hand and hold it close ] But I have no need for more sacrifices. My happiness is yours, and having you at my side is more than enough.
