"Give me an example," Faolan said, looking at her, ears at attention. Clearly he wanted to know what was bothering her.

Ellandra shrugged a little. "I suppose it's mostly because we were raised so differently. . . but there's a part of me that. . . really doesn't like the idea of sharing you," she admitted, ducking her head as a shamed blush dusted her face.

"Well, true enough we were raised differently an' I certainly have no issues with more'n one lover at a time, but as far as the marriage goes, I only got one lover an' that's you. You ain't exactly sharin' me. I'm not havin' sex with the girl," Faolan said, watching her. "Maybe I see things differently, but kissin' and huggin' ain't on the same page as other stuff. She's my wife--well, our wife, really--but I'm not actin' like much of a husband to her, if that makes sense."

"I told you it was selfish of me," Ellandra said quietly. "And most certainly not rational; i'm trying to ignore it, really I am, but it's so very difficult.. . ."

"It ain't irrational, Elle. I know when that nancy boy Will came here lookin' to marry you, I'd have killed him if Da hadn't held me back, so I get the not wantin' someone else bein' all over me," Fao said, giving a shrug. "I donnae mind you bein' selfish some, girl. Let's me know you really care. You shouldnae go ignorin' it. If it's bother'n you, then you need to say somethin' and let me try to fix it."

"I'm not sure there really is a way to fix it, though," Ellandra said, taking another bite of cheesecake and finishing that before she spoke again. "I just want you. . . and Lee to both be happy, and if I don't ignore that selfish part of me it will just make everything harder for you both. . . "

"Well, I ain't happy when you're all mopey. If you wanna be selfish and need me all to yourself every so often, then just say so. You got that right, Elle," Fao pointed out before digging into his cheesecake again.

Ellandra looked rather ashamed. "But I don't want to be selfish, Faolan, I really don't . . . "

Faolan chuckled and leaned toward her, moving her cheesecake aside, and kissed her. After a few breathless moments, he pulled back and looked down at her. "See there, lass? Ain't nothin' wrong with a little selfishness."

Ellandra squeaked. "W-well. . . . .um. . . ." Finally, she just smiled at Faolan and shook her head a little. "I suppose you're right, Faolan. . . " then a slightly sneaky smile crossed her face and she poked him on the nose. "For once."

"La, woman. It's like I tell Da, I'm usually right about most things. It's just that no one goes to listenin' to me that often," Faolan teased, focusing back on his cheesecake with a little happy noise.

"I wonder why people don't listen to you," Ellandra said thoughtfully, before it dawned on her. "Then again, I think I know why - most people are too busy looking at you to listen." Because Faolan was like a magnet for people's gazes, she wasn't ignorant of that, had never been, really - so there was likely an element of truth in what she'd just said.

"Dunno why they wanna look. Most of 'em grew up with me an' outsiders always stare at us," Faolan said, digging in the bag for more cheesecake after finishing his first piece. "Outsiders donnae listen because I'm a stupid pikey an' people here donnae listen because . . . well, they know I'm usually full of shite." He graced her with a playful grin before focusing on the bag again, ears perking up a bit as he found a blackberry cheesecake.

Ellandra poked hm in the nose with a forkful of cheesecake, smearing the treat on his face in the process. "You silly thing, they're looking at you because you look good. A person would have to be blind not to notice that."

"Ta, woman, I do think your eyes have gone bad, aye," Faolan laughed, wiping at his nose. "I ain't all that with the looks. I knows that enough."
