*alex shifts his weight in the chair, and grabs his drink. he takes a gulp and looks at Veriti* I'm happy to see you again, I really am, I just didn't think that I'd see you again. After I heard the news I went to Ayuthay in secret. I couldn't believe it.
*alex sets his glass down and looks at the booze* I met our son rather recently. You'd be proud of how he's grown. I am. -
I.. I'm glad. Amiti.. I wish I had gotten to see him grow.. but..
*She pauses, shaking her head, glancing back up at him*
I've only been.. I suppose, revived, for a week. It's.. still all new to me. I.. didn't expect to see you. -
I wish I could have as well. I regret not being there for him.
I wasn't here for much, but I think the visit has been worth it because of this encounter. I want to stay with you. -
*she pauses at that, glancing back down, sighing deeply*
I.. wish I could, Alex. I do.. I want to stay with you, too.
...
I'm just not sure that's possible. -
I.. wasn't ready for that, but I think I understand, my love. It's a tough thing to hear. Will I see you again? I've missed you.
-
...
Alex... I don't think you know what you're asking. My life isn't my own anymore. -
I.. want to understand but I'm having trouble Veriti. I still can't believe you're alive. It's a huge thing to believe and I'm grasping at straws for any chance to keep you. I don't think I can handle losing you again.
-
I don't want to leave you, but it would put you in danger if I stay around.
-
I think I understand now, Veriti. I don't know what you're involved in, but I want you to be safe and to stay out of trouble. Please?
-
I can't promise that.
*her voice is softer now, and she doesn't glance up at him, just staring at the table for now*
And.. I can't even promise if I leave, next time I see you, we won't be enemies. -
*Alex's eyes begins to well up and he turns away for a second to hide this* Veriti, I love you. I don't want to meet you as an enemy, I'm not prepared to, but if that's how things may be, I'm not going to run from it. I'm too used to making enemies I think.
-
*she glances up at him after a moment, hesitating, before moving to take his hand, clutching it in both of hers*
If.. I don't go back, they'll eventually look for me. So.. if I don't want them to find me, we would need to go somewhere else. Far away..
..
And then hope the Zenith Tribe give up. -
They aren't going to get you. I'll protect you from them if they find us. Let's go, together. *alex looks at veriti, his eyes burning with determination*
-
*she's managed to keep collected, but at that, she tears up now, holding his hand tighter*
Thank you, Alex.. I.. I don't want to ever leave you again. -
I'm never losing you again.
We should get going.
