"I would prefer that you see a healer." Evangeline said when Kaj agreed to see one if it would please her. "But I cannot make you do what you do not wish to." He was the king, after all, and even though he took her reprimands gracefully she could not make him do what he did not wish to, nor could she make anyone else. He then apologized for seeming to always come to her about Kahlua and Evangeline only gave a shake of her head. "It is my job to be an advisor, is it not?" She asked. "I will advise you on whatever you seek me out for, be it of importance or otherwise."

Silence reigned supreme as the golden king contemplated the question that she had posed for him. For as much weight as the question held she felt that it was a fairly simple one. If he was in love with Kahlua then he would know. He would feel it not only in his heart but with ever fiber of his being. When he finally did answer he only showed more doubt and confusion over the matter. 'Silly King.' Tallis murmured from the branch above them. Such confusion was what the dragon had come to expect when the Queen and Eva interacted.

"Okay." She would have to break it down for him, it seemed, to get him to the answer that only he would know. "Does she bring joy to your life? Do you look forward to seeing her everyday? When you part do you miss her? Do you feel like a part of yourself is gone? Do you often imagine a future with her? Do you think about children?" The orange mare tried to keep her voice steady as she posed the questions to the feelings that she had felt at one time, herself. "Do the simplest things she do make you smile? Do you find her quirks endearing? Would you lay down your life for her? Could you bear the thought of her loving someone else? Could you live your life without her? If she left would you think about her every day?" Eva blinked as her questions came to an abrupt halt and she turned her head away from the king. Unwanted tears had gathered in her eyes and begun their slow trek down her cheeks. As her questions progressed she had begun to think more and more about Validino and how much she had loved him. How much she still loved him even after he'd torn her heart out and left her with nothing.

Evangeline cleared her throat and blinked away the remainder of her tears. "Well?" She prompted the king, not wanting her tears to be the new focus of their conversation.
