She can see her question has so many possible answers. He instantly looks as if he can not bare the weight on his own, she leans into him as he sighs. Yes.. unhappy. As the words slip off of his lips, she furrows her brow. He only pauses a single moment before continuing, elaborating on how one could be unhappy here on Paradise. She nods her delicate head. "It could be, that they do not understand, because they have not walked a day in your steps." She says thoughtfully, in hopes that her words would comfort him in some sort of way.

A smile touches her lips as his next words fill the space between them. He gives a simple warning but grants her what she asks. She can feel her heart quicken, knowing that she was not a prisoner, nor a captive. "Thank you Roug. Your words make my heart soar." She admits her thoughts and feelings aloud. She does not desire to leave Atlantis any time soon, but she now knows that if she felt the need to adventure that he would be here. He would wait for her. Her heart skips a beat at the thought of him standing on the sands, gazing into the distance, waiting for her to return to him.

"I would never wander too far." She finds his gaze with her own. She felt safe here, safe with him. He has made no attempt to hurt her, nor speak ill against her. She knew from the moment they had met that beneath his rough exterior, there was something so much more.
