Two Rivers Isle This world is only gonna break your heart

Ully had jumped and he looked like a deer caught in hunters claw and teeth. She didn't stop though, or shy away. What she wanted to say, needed said, before it ate away at her, or she grew to cowardly to say it. 

His opened and closed his mouth, making an awkward noise in his throat, like he was choking on a fish bone. She wasn't certain what that meant. She frowned, hoping she hadn't caused him to have a heart attack or something.

Suddenly she was thrown from her mission. So close she could reach out and touch him. So close their breath intermingled. His voice a hoarse whisper. Ears tilted up and down, and back again. Then forward. Did he. Did he want her to love him? Then what was all that talk of duty and forbidden and. And.

She gave a firm nod. Of course I do. Have you ever known me to lie, Ully? Since I was almost a year and a half.

She had always known, deep inside. She had been ignoring it though for the better half of almost two years. Because it had been forbidden and he had been so duty bound, but here, now. She didn't have too.
