Herbalists' Cache What a find

She had hoped for another answer, but she suspected that Shale knew that. She looked at him for a few moments not sure what to say or how to respond. He was such a nice man, caring to others, handsome, experienced, and yet he didn't seem to think himself worthy. Pema didn't think herself some special catch, average at best. She just didn't understand it and she wasn't sure if there was anything should could do about it. She could try to convince him otherwise, but that hadn't worked in the past and she sumized that it wouldn't work the second time she tried.

She still didn't agree with him, but it wasn't as though they could be together with only one of their concents. So instead of plea, or try to reason with him, which was a common Pema move she decided that this was a lost cause. After moments of silence she spoke, "I don't know what to say Shale. Nothing I say can seem to convince you otherwise." she said regretfully. "I guess it was silly of me to think that it would. To think that if I just gave you enough time you would be able to..." she sighed. "Well consider your feelings spared. I won't ask about it again." she said, ready to simply leave. 

There wasn't any reason for her to stay here. She would need a den before grabbing anything necessary, and she really needed get out of here. Away from him. It was just too much for her.
