The Sunspire destiny and fortune

"I understand," replied Rannoch, his throat tightening as he spoke. Although Rannoch understood Olive and Seabreeze's motivations for relocating, he couldn't help but feel stung by their settlement—surely there was a way for them to work it out that? Rannoch buried his hurt deep, and didn't allow for the feelings to surface; they had made up their minds, and nothing was going to change that. He'd take the time to reflect when he was alone. 

"Please make sure you let me know before you go," Rannoch added, offering them a frail smile. "I'd like to see you off, if possible." He turned to Seabreeze then, and acknowledged her offer with a dip of his head. "Yes, if you could have a scout sent to let us know you're all safe, it'd be very appreciated." 

The mention of Terance intrigued Rannoch but, he didn't seek further information from Seabreeze. He was confident that their conversation had been difficult—an understatement, truly— and Rannoch did not want to re-ignite any negative feelings. What had happened between the former lovers had been decided by the respective parties, and Rannoch recognized their decision.
