Redsand Canyon I don't know the half of it anymore

I'm gonna be slow because of school? No, because the feelings are just calling too damn strong cries in my corner of love for Kallik

She felt relief when he managed to pull a deep breath in, the way that he managed to take her order and breathe in deeply, watching as he exhaled. Anxiety was a vicious cycle, but mixing such a thing with pain… it was hard. She had remembered feeling that way through the betrayal of her own father, wanting to marry her off to the brutish warrior who likely would have only let her live long enough to finish nursing his first son. It stung, a father’s betrayal, not that her father had ever truly been one for her. He had been too focused on his male heirs.
 
The thought lingered in the air when he spoke, sympathy in her eyes as she gave him an answer that she knew he wouldn’t like to hear. “Sometimes, there’s nothing you can do.” She settled down next to him, offering him a soft nuzzle meant to comfort. “Sometimes, the fault doesn’t lay with you at all… Kallik, the fault lies with him. He could not see you for who you were. That is his flaw, not yours.” She had not known him long, but she thought his father crazy for picking up one son but leaving one such as him behind. It didn’t seem right, not with the staunch loyalty, determination, and grit he carried with him. She admired him for that. “If he could not see your worth the way I see it, or the way the Imperator sees it… then he was not worthy of your love or presence to begin with.” And she meant that, wholly.
