[Talia had been a whirl of emotions since she and Kevas had admitted their feelings for one another. She loved him and there was absolutely no denying that fact, but the guilt over falling for anyone so quickly after the loss of her home and hearth; the love of her life and soulbonds. Was this right? Was she supposed to do this

Are you happy, with Kevas?

[She deserves to be happy, to have what little joy they can have. It's a valid question, given the situation, and her Gift.]

Are you sure of him, and his own feelings towards you?

[Commentlog] Awww, it's like he's gonna be sittin' there, celaning his rifle!

[thequeensown]

Yes, I am. [There is no hesitation before her answer and for a moment she looks a bit stunned at how quickly and how definitive her answer was. Her brows knit then and she looks down, then back again at Van before nodding, her voice soft as she speaks.]

I do not doubt his feelings, nor his intentions .. I .. I am sure, yes .. of both of us.

[Commentlog] lol!

[lastofvaldemar]

Then don't...guilt yourself. I'm not surprised that you're so much stronger than I, but I am glad.

[Talia feels her eyes widen in surprise as Van states that she is stronger than he and she shakes her head slightly. It's an amazing thought, but she hardly thinks it of herself.]

Oh, hardly, Vanyel! We've both of us come from different times and events. I'd never claim myself stronger than you with even the hint of your own past.
