Seaside Moors keep coming back

So many times in his life, Kaertok had let others make his choices for him. Raleska had been one of them, in a way. She had told him time and time again that he was no good for her, and yet he couldn’t bring himself to believe that was true. If he returned to Legion, he knew that was it. But he saw no future there. Arbiter had been fair to him, and he fair to her (in his own way), but fair was not what drove him. Raleska was something else. She had that drive in her that so many Tartok wolves had, and he could not leave it be.

I do not joke, and I do not act as though I have never let you down. But we could be something. I feel it in my bones, and I know you do, too, or you would not have given me an audience. She wouldn’t still be standing here if she didn’t want something out of this. Maybe she wanted to kill him, but she hadn’t done so (yet).
