Was there more to be said?

Belharra could see something was behind Asmodeus' eyes. She couldn't place it, but it might have been the same ugly emotion that was nipping at her heart-strings too.

She wanted to say way more but found the words weren't coming to her. When was Belharra ever at a loss for words? This was Asmodeus' doing. Her throat bobbed as she tried to form a sentence. None came.

Then he said what she had hoped -- or tried - to say herself. "Come with ye." She had to make it sound like she wasn't interested, like she wasn't too desperate - but the idea of him leaving the Wilds seemed like.. like she'd miss some great adventure if he went off and lived life without her.

"I'd like that." She settled, an unsure but happy grin on her features. "Someone's got to make sure ye don't lose more fingies or get swiped up by strange harlots." Yeah, that was really the real reason here...
