Talcorin shook his head and brushed against Laenya again, turning her away. It was more an insult to his parenting ways than to her, and he would explain that... He needed an ally... He needed someone he could express guilt to. He wasn't ready to tell Illitashia... Wasn't ready to lose her love because he was a fool...
If he could just hold onto her for a little longer... At least, Laenya would be here when Illi left... At least he would have one friend... He shuddered as the fear overtook him. He waited until they were far enough away to not be overheard, then poured his heart out.
"You have met my oldest son, who's hatred I have earned by being too absent... And when he was injured.. If I could have been there, if I had been there, he wouldn't have been. I've earned his hatred... His remarks were meant for me, not you... I am sorry Laenya, dear friend... I have finally messed up my second chance... Oh how they must be laughing."
He looked at the sky, tears running down his cheeks.
