❛ Arthur... ❜ To say his name, for her lips to take its familiar shape, is to smile. The smile might be sad, and it does wither at the edges, but there is also sincere affection there. He begs, this king on his knees rather than on his rightful throne. Whether it is a kindness or a cruelty, she takes his hand and kisses the knuckles that are too used to fighting. She knows him more as a lover than a warrior, which she is grateful for. It is an honor to know him, even more, as a friend. And one who loves her so fiercely at that... she drops his hand. She looks at him with apology written in her eyes.
She'd do anything to delay the confession but knows it must be said. ❛ I'm in love with someone. ❜ And, on a strange instinct, she fiddles with her ring finger, which for now is just skin, but what she wants to be something more one day. If he feels like this is a betrayal, for her heart to beat or another after telling him it was dead, she will not blame him. She will not blame him at all.
