Swiftcurrent Creek Fuck love, got too many reasons

Arric picked up on her anxiety; that part didn't surprise her, but the way he responded to it certainly did. He cared more than she would have assumed. Reverie tended to think of her problems as solely her own. Why should anyone else care what happened to her? Especially Arric, who she had only caused problems for thus far.
He had cared enough to bring her here, so maybe it shouldn't have been a surprise. Still, his kindness was misplaced here. Reverie shook her head. I have to, She said in a rare moment of certainty. I can't let him hurt anyone. But what she meant was Lestan. He was far too gentle, she thought, far too kind to be subjected to her brother's cold rage. So for the same reason she could not return to Kvarsheim, Reverie could not stay here. Not even in the valley. It was just too dangerous.
