Stavanger Bay only you know the way that i break

relief flooded every fiber of her being to hear him grant her his blessing. had she not been so clouded with her season, she might have stopped to ponder the relationship that could have been between her and ford. she could never know his demons, she could only know the assumptions she'd made about him -- and the way that he had made her feel. it didn't seem to matter so much now anyway... it didn't seem like he cared to stop her, so maybe it had never been something worth considering. either way, with his blessing, dalia had places to be now.

what would velen even say??

her tail waved, and she dipped her head graciously to the titan. "thank you, ford," she said, ears flicking back, "enjoy your day." because what else was there to be said? and now, she left, off to find velen.
