Noctisardor Bypass faya

Etienne sighed. This was not going to help anyone. This would cause more hurt feelings and more issues. And no matter how hard Heda was trying to do good. This would backfire. Did she really think Anselm wouldn't blame him in a way. And what if Anselm left too and she didn't understand that it would not be him raising her children. That was a reality that Anselm couldn't grasp, wouldn't grasp.

Etienne moved forward and pulled Heda too him if she'd let him.

'eda you need to put de burdens dat are crus'in' you down. Dis way will 'elp no one. Believe me w'en i say it will be worse dan you can imagine.

A soft little hiccough cry. Den w'y would you do dis 'eda? Dis is de wrong c'oice. It is Mon Fou.

Etienne shifted. 'eda! Listen to me. Dis is not the rite way. You are stressed amd amxious and trying so 'ard to keep everything and everyone okay. You 'ave neglected yourself.

His brow furrowed. Okay. I will do dis instead. Promise me 'eda dat you will rest. You will take 2 weeks and you will do noting. I will make Anselm 'elp wit de babies and de 'unting Fiona too. And den in dese two weeks if you still want to go. I will 'elp you, but you must tell Druid and Anselm. Dey deserve to know. If you leave so quickly dey will bot' be abandoned as you were and dey. Dey may not come back from it. You understand?
