"I forgive you," Rue said.

"It's safer if you leave me and go," Adele told him.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I don't care," Rue said.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Rue..." Adele said miserably. She sobbed into his shoulder.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Please don't leave me..." Rue said.

"I won't leave you unless you want me to," Adele said. "But...I want to spend a little while, just a few hours, on my own. I need to calm down."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I don't mind that, but could you please come back into the inn again?" Rue said.

Adele nodded. "I should get at least my shoes," she said, glancing at her bare feet. She was planning to get a separate room and spend some time there to cool down. She stood, still hugging Rue.

Rue stood and then lifted her in his arms, so she didn't have to walk bare footed anymore. He started walking back.

Adele sighed when he lifted her up. She leaned her head against his shoulder and tried to be easy for him to carry.

Rue walked into the hotel with her again.

"Thank you," Adele whispered to him. When they reached the room, she grabbed her shoes and some small weapons.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I'll leave you alone...But please promise me you won't go too far," Rue said.  

[marixe alcyone]

"I'm just going to be elsewhere in the inn," Adele said. "So I don't have to be afraid of hurting anyone."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"You don't have to feel like that here..." Rue said.
