He smiled inwardly, finding it amusing he felt the same way towards her sister but he kept that thought closely refined in his mind. He hadn't forgotten carpathians were mind readers. "So why don't leave him?" He suggested.

"You said there were Carpathians in your herd, right? Then you should already know the answer to that question."

He shrugged. "Yes there are Carpathians in my herd....I've seen the men cherish their women. I also see the women defending their lifemates against others even when that female is upset with her man. They don't let anyone really push them around. Of course...Most of those women are claimed, the words already spoken to keep them bound to the male." He blew a little heat on some more sage, this time adding a bit thyme and rosemary to the scent.

Serena's temper flared, showing in her response to Merin. "Just because he's never spoken the words doesn't mean I am any less bound."

His eyes sparkled. "Now that's what I don't understand.....When words are spoken, that means the females cannot get away....but you have never had the words spoken to you so you shouldn't be bound..."

"Yes, I can deny him. This is true. But I would be condemning a man to death or worse...and I would never be happy." Her pupils were small slits, her patience thinning even more. She cracked her knuckles menacingly, trying to keep herself from getting flustered by regulating her breathing.

Merin blinked, his eyes drifting to her knuckles before they lifted to her face, studying her expression closely. "Since you know more than I do of your own species, I suppose condemning a poor man out of fear is your solution. Now if you will excuse me, I have a few more herbs to collect lest the healer in my herd gets upset with me."
He turned to continue plucking up miscellanious plants.

"Excuse me? I know I didn't hear you correctly. I couldn't have. Incase you didn't know, this relationship lasts the rest of time for me. Eternity. That's a long time to be stuck with an a**. That's a long time to be unhappy too. AND the reason I'm having problems with him in the first place is because I don't want to condemn him. I wish I could just tell him to go scorch himself, but I can't. I wouldn't be able to live knowing I had caused another's death. I also can't live knowing that I'll be forced to be half the person I am because my lifemate can't accept me as I am or use a few small principles of respect when dealing with me. I've been kind in talking with you, but when you call me a coward, that's going to far. Nothing in your life hinges on forever. You can fall in love with many girls. For me there is only one. And I can't even fall in love with him."

"Actually, I did not call you a coward. And see? You defend him when I say something about him but when your sister said anything negative about him you took her side. And I do not have the privalige of falling in love with many girls... On the contrary, I'm waiting rather patiently for her to show herself. I don't believe a death of one compared to that living a full life of nothing but waiting is as aggrivating."
He simply shrugged.

"Condemning a poor man out of fear is your solution.' Those were the words you used. That sounds like calling someone a coward to me. And I am in no way defending my lifemate to you. I am defending myself. How you got that out of my statement is unclear to me. When Lena said something negative, it was because of what I told her. I said all those negative things to her because I believe they are the truth."

Merin sighed and turned to look at her. "If you feel so whole heartedly believe that he is nothing more than an a**, someone who's going to control every little move you make without your permission when he loves you and seems to have tried to care for you, then leave him. He hasn't bound you to him in any shape so you clearly can leave him. Or have you not tried to leave him?" He still hadn't raised his voice, although he was borderlining loosing his cool. He wasn't sure was worse...this one or her sister.

Serena's eyes darkened as she whispered, "You're just like everyone else. You don't understand. I wonder if you've even ever opened your mind to my words, or if you had your mind made up when you saw me..." She evaporated into mist and sped away, wanting to find someone sane to talk to.

He wrinkled his nose..."Then maybe you're much suited to remain alone...like your sister." He shook his head as he muttered under his breath, turning his attention to the herb collecting.
