Big Salmon Lake They're out of order in war

Alaric saw her frown and he wondered at it, but if she wanted to tell him, she would. It was not his place to ask the hard questions. Because he was a bard, his job was to make other's smile and feel good. Not pick at their brains. Even if he were a healer of all ailments, mental and spiritual too. You couldn't heal those that didn't want it.  Alaric understood the worry and the little bit of selfishness, but he and Amalia had always made sure to part on good terms.

Alaric chuckled. I just saw Amalia recently. But I am always happy to see her.

Her next question didn't exactly surprise him, but he wondered how to answer it. Because yes they did, but as they had edged it wasn't so much. But how do you tell someone still young that. We do, though as we have aged, we've learned to handle it better and Amalia and I have always made it a point to never leave each other cross. Even if we have to sit in silence for a time. We won't part ways until our feelings on things are resolved.
