Emir looked closely at her. "If you would prefer I left you, simply say. Or you can talk to me. Sometimes it helps to talk to somone who can talk back."

"Those that can talk back can also pass judgment," Delilah said staring back into the lake.

Emir nodded. "That is also true." He stood. "I should leave you with your musings... it is not for me to impose."

"Impose?" Delilah blinked looking back up. "No, you're not imposing, not really..."

"If you would prefer, My Lady, I will staybut I feel like your own company is preferable to my own, as flawed as it is."

Emir sat again. "My... acquantances don't speak very much and only then in lies. I am afraid all comfort or conversation I might give might be harsher than I would like to offer. I would rather leave then cause you any discomfort, My Lady."

"The Facade? I was born with it, I suppose. It was the only way to get bye- smile and crumble on the inside. Trust no-one. I would hate for your lovliness to be tainted by such a mentality." Emir wrinkled his nose gently, hiding a frown.

"My "lovliness" as you call it was tainted long ago," Delilah said softly. "Why continue to play the game?"

"I continue to play because... if I did not I would lose the only family I have, however grotesque it appears to be. I never wanted to be alone," said Emir with a thread of sadness in his tone.

"Of course," Delilah sighed. "That's what it all comes down to, isn't it? No one wants to be alone..."

"Maybe that is what binds us all," said Emir. "The longing for... someone else," he said looking at Delilah closely. "You have the most amazing eyes..." His lips tightened and he looked into the water. "I... apologise, I don't mean to... cause discomfort."
