Alright, but what if she [did] want you back, would you deny the chance?

“I... I do not know. I am with Mina now and.. E’hla deserves better than I can provide. She obviously knew so, too, as she had ‘left’ me several times before deciding to finalize it. I just.. do not know if I would handle it well, always wondering what I might do wrong, what might hurt her or cause her to leave again. That is no way to live in a relationship.”

"The world can be dark and uncertain and cruel. The only thing that matters is that we face it together. No matter what happens, you are my light."

Had she sensed his dissonance, his uncertainty? Because what she said felt so much like what he needed to hear. Dalamus took her hands and gently pulled her towards himself, guiding her arms around himself in a much-needed embrace. “And you are mine. Yi sil, yi daelkhun, yi daelha.*”

"But if you sincerely believe that your best path to healing is at her side, I will not stand in your way." Nyra

The mer nodded slightly. “Thank you, Nyra. Mina has done so much for me, and she seems to enjoy my presence, as well. We help each other. Your support is greatly appreciated, even if it is reluctant support.”

"Whose blood concerns you more, your daughter or your lover’s?"

The vampire’s brows knit together. “That is hardly a fair question. I would not wish to see either of them hurt. If.. If I had to choose, should you force me to choose, I will always protect Llaara. Mina would understand.”

“Get behind me. I will deal with this.”

For a reason she doesn’t understand the bookcases in thetemple attract a horrifying amount of spiders, and she hates being the one to deal with them.

So when Mínaesë came forward, she didn’t hesitate to take astep back. “My hero!” she laughed. “I’ll find a way to thank you. I promise.”

Your woman was pining over another priest in the temple for awhile, did you know? They even slept together before you showed up- if they've even stopped. They've been seen talking in private recently too. Perhaps another priest is better for her, no?

“Her previous sex partners are none of my concern, nor am I worried. I have not smelled or seen or felt anything that would indicate she is sleeping with anyone else. It would make sense for her to be close with other priests, priestesses, and healers. I have little doubt that another priest would be.. ‘better’ for her, but she has chosen me, and I have chosen her.”

Dal is so touchy feely when it comes to people he loves Good thing he ain’t a snake bc poor Mina would have been suffocated by accident by now I’m so sorry he’s constantly just wrapping himself around you, Mina xD

Weird question: I heard beast blood is pretty good for some vampires, like reeeeally good. Ever been tempted to bite your girlfriend before- like does she smell different/better than other people you've bitten? I'm curious!

Dalamus is skeptical about the greymage’s words, but finds the concept intriguing nevertheless. “I.. well, yes, I have been tempted--usually during sex--but I would never draw blood without her permission. At least, not if I can help it. She does smell different, and better, but I believe that might be attributed to the fact that she actually bathes more than once a month--unlike most of the people who live here.”
