Evangeline you always want what you're running from |
 "You cannot hold on to everyone. Perhaps they are happier without you." The air rushed from her lungs and left her feeling like she'd been kicked in the chest. How could he say that? How? Her brows furrowed and her eyes watered and she averted her gaze so she would not look at Ruske. She had just finished telling him that he was the only one that hadn't hurt her and he'd just practically ripped her heart out. But maybe he was right. Maybe everyone was happier without her. Maybe that's why her father left before she was born. And why her mother weaned her too soon and left. And Ciryas, maybe that was why he'd disappeared so soon after finding her. Validino and her own children, perhaps they had left her because they were happier when she wasn't around. "Not true." Tallis hissed as the thoughts screamed through her mind. "Not true! 'Uske lie! 'Uske dumb!" "You're right." She finally said, sounding as defeated as she felt. "Maybe everyone is happier without me. It would explain a lot." She tried to force a smile to show that he hadn't hurt her feelings, but it faltered and faded away quickly. He continued to speak and Evangeline began to suspect he was trying to ease whatever hurt he had caused with his first comment. It helped, but only a little. She still felt the dull ache in her chest at the thought that the ones she cared so much for were happier without her. She'd had enough of talking with Ruske. She'd had enough of his attitude and she just wanted to get away from him before he said something else that made her want to break down into tears. "I am glad to have found you, of course. But there is much else I need to learn – about this place. Once I am not so wrecked." "Yes." She whispered, her gaze sweeping over Ruske before falling to the ground again. Standing where she was was beginning to feel overwhelming and so she took it as the end of their conversation when Ruske began to graze. "Goodbye." The orange mare murmured as she turned and trotted quickly away. Tallis took the the sky as Eva left and quietly flew back toward Ruske. A puff of smoke blew from his nostrils as he glared at the stallion and, without much else of a warning, his maw opened and he set fire to the grass the the stallion had been grazing on and then he flew off after his bonded. @[Ruske] "."  and you know this is more than you can take |
