Right, the other me spent time here being a nuisance. I wouldn't make this choice if I didn't consider the dangers for our Azriel, yet, he is the only person capable of pulling the trigger when even the gods haven't. Look, I'm accepting of his decision spending time with Lust knowing their prior relationship and maybe I'm willing to share, but I'd be lying if I said a fraction of it did not come from a place of jealousy. I care about the version we have, Valentin, I've known him for most of his life. I had centuries of loneliness without a companion because anyone knowing my secret was dangerous. It's the life as the Weaver, tiring, always alone. I wasn't alone with the other him. That is half of where my feelings stem from and the other...is his capability of darkness. I am also capable of such seeing that I set to ruin the lives of the princes for Az. This feeling of disgust and fascination to witness something so terrible but gripping scares me, I can't lie. Here I am, though, unable to look away or run from him.
That she did, was probably about two seconds from jumping my bones had I not stopped her. You are being manipulated, Lia. I may not have met this other version of Azriel, but I can imagine who he is if he is so different than ours and harboring a darkness that calls to yours. You are a conquest, and you're falling into his hands. You say that you weren't alone with the other Azriel, but you were never truly alone with ours either. Our Azriel cares for very small number of people, and while his road may have taken him from the coven, he never strayed far from you. He went to you when he left his demon Prince. He trusted you with the people he cares most for in the world. You are unable to look or run from the other Azriel because he designed it that way. He is with the alternate version of you; he knows exactly how to be who you think you need.
