"it must be nice," his tone is distant despite the genuine positiveness behind it. hector is not one to feign sentiment, but he distances himself from any sort of hurt. "to have the option of seeing your siblings in here, in askr." while in his opinion, uther is just as deserving of a summon as himself, he doubts he'll ever be granted his brother's presence, unlike the exalt. he doesn't resent her for having what he doesn't, however.
♕ —– ᴅ ɪ ᴠ ɪ ɴ ᴇ —– ; SENTIMENTS THRUST UPON her when she had not ASKED. Spontaneous as it were, the though was still INVASIVE for Gentle Sovereign. She was not ready for these pleasantries ( not without WARNING ). Unlike great Knight before her, SUDDEN topic of interest gives brief moment of ache / DISCOMFORT / worry. Though, like whispers in wind, she recovers quickly.
o’ brave marquess , hath you no consideration ? no mercy ?
—– ; DELICATE hand raised from rest. Elevated high enough to stop him. To cease his musings. Subject was not up for DISCOURSE ( perhaps another time ). Though, she could not lead him blindly. Answer for his feelings -- despite his seemingly EMPTY thoughts on matter.
❛ allow me to stop you , hector . you misunderstand . while they take forms of my dearest brother && sister , they are not mine . they hail from a different time than my own . ❜
—– ; NEVER had Mortal Angel sounded so stern before -- not like this. Sombre she was, && adamant.. She desired no more DISCUSSION. Not yet ready was Exalt; to open about herself about topic of other summoned Heroes meant to come from same family. ( no not yet ) She knew gallant hero meant only well -- he did not mean harm -- but she was hurt by it nonetheless. A pain surely to be rebounded soon.
it is not , my dear . if only you knew how it grieves her
—– ; ANGELIC Queen shows small notice for other. A slight desire to RETIRE. Had he no further items to consider, then Lady would show herself out. She LINGERS still, for his sake of recovery. Given the opportunity, a bitter start could end sweetly. Albeit tired, already from much restraint given ( so many things she could have said && done ! ) , she stays. She does well to hold back -- so much as to not distress Bold Knight. Though voice once more PONDERS him for a response.
❛ is something on your mind -- something to discuss ? you are more reserved today than normal . ❜
