The truth of it hides in the woodland gaze that pleads for him to understand. She's too tired to fight anymore.
The spite, the refusal to let those who had sought her harm see her truly fall - to see her give in - for the stubbornness of refusing to let them win has fled her.

She'd never imagined it would be Kavik who would defeat her.
"Yeah, you can stick with me." She nods slightly. He's part of the family she had lost - his company would be welcome. They'd have to survive this together - try to make some sense of the mess their lives had all become.
