"She should go, you know."

"Maybe. But you should talk about that with her, that's how breaking up with people for their own good is supposed to work."

"I can't - I don't - I haven't talked to anyone in two hundred years. You can tell her that I wish it'd never happened."

Permalink

" - guess I'll try with that. Thanks."

He leaves.

She paces for a couple minutes and then brings Matt back.

"He did not actually give me very much to work with because he suspected me of working for you but I think he'll be better to her. - possibly not that much better. Any better. I can go talk to her now?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Okay. Think she's still at Korva's."

Permalink

He heads over there.

She's in her room telling a story to her children, still dressed entirely in black.

He can wait.

Permalink

She's not actually leaving her room very much these past few days. She finishes the story and her son asks some questions and then runs out of the room to play outside. She doesn't leave with him.

If he waits long enough then eventually she'll have to leave her room to get something to eat.

"Hey."

Permalink

"Hello."

"I went and talked to Rana. He's alive. Made it through the misfortune okay."

Permalink

"That's - good."

"He still loves you. He - he thinks that you'll be happier if you don't go back to him and stay here and marry someone who can navigate this world. I told him that breaking someone's heart is not the same thing as giving it back to them and this had not previously occurred to him at all, he was very upset by it."

Well that's a very bizarre thing not to notice in however many years it's been, but he is a fairy, and fairies are confused about all sorts of human things.

 

"Does he - want me to come back, or - "

Permalink

"Yes. - well. He wants you to be happy. He wants you back but he has told himself that it'll be bad for you to go back to him. So he wouldn't say more than - that he wouldn't want you to feel obligated to obey his instruction to stay away, and that the time he had with you was the happiest of his life."

- nod.

"I - want to go back to him but I don't know what I'd do about - I don't have all of my children yet."

Permalink

"You could have a while before - you'd missed any time here. I think - I think you should talk to him and figure this out with him?"

Permalink

Nodnodnod. 

"I should go now?"

Permalink

"- probably. Since he's sped up."

Nodnod.

She carries her baby to Korva and asks her if she can watch the children for a while. Probably not very long but maybe a day or two. Korva agrees. 

And she goes out to find Elizabeth.

She's doing hospital things but she pops back shortly. " - hey."
