Mirelah;
"Alright. Yes, Mirelah. I promise to be absolutely honest while answering your questions." He replies, and I sniffle.
The first question is bitter, but I can not stop it. I need to know…
"Do you have feelings for Liriel?"
There's silence for a while. A long while… I finally look up at him and see confusion clear as day on his face.
Like the question I asked is causing his mind to scramble.
Why is he taking so long to give an answer?
"You do?" I whisper in a voice more broken than I expected, and his face finally scrunches.
Like my words are bitter medicine I just forced down his throat.
"Why in Ozrith's name…? What gave you that idea!?" He replies, and I swallow. He sounds like I just said arrant nonsense… but that's enough. I need to hear the words.
I need to know. If he lies to me… I should be able to tell… right?
"Kealith…"
"Have I given you a reason to think I'm in love with my best friend??" He demands, and I stare at him.
