Northstar Vale Its the sunrise

Sorin's gaze follows the drop in her own as she seems to battle with something. He couldn't begin to guess what, but the language of her frame tells him of some misfortune, some experience that haunts her mind, much like Livia haunts his. Perhaps it had to do with the man named Kavik, he who betrayed her. But Sorin is not entirely sure, and it is not his place to pry.

Her following words, all but confirm the suspicion of her being haunted by some painful memory. He does not give any voice to the notion for fear of angering her, but he tucks it away, perhaps to evaluate latter. It made sense, considering how similarly broken they were. "That's true," he says lowly after a moment of consideration. "But the knowledge of such power does not make resisting it any easier. Especially when it has ruled you for...more time than one might hope."

He can still see the wicked expression on Livia's face as she turned towards him, her fangs bared with the blood of his mentor. He can still remember how his heart shattered as she taunted him, as she moved to stand beside Bane and acert her dominion over the pack. Most of all, he remembers the pain and fear of the following months, emotions that both held him back and kept him going. No, forgetting such emotion was anything but easy.

Sorin sees the confusion clouding her eyes as she turns to face him again, which leads to certain degree of uncertainty for the shadow. Was she confused about his actions, or her feelings towards him? Was she confused by the memory of her lost love? Or was it something else entirely. Suddenly, Sorin felt a panic rise in his chest as he considered the possibility that he had unintentionally hurt her somehow. The fear of harming her flashed almost imperceptibly across his face before being buried once again by his typically stoic expression. But a worry was still there, set deep in his eyes if she cared enough to look. He knew something was up, and it was likely something that needed to be addressed, lest he hurt her more.

"Talk to me Liri," he said simply, hoping she would understand the weight behind his request.
