...Lailah, you're strong. [Sorey fiddles with his comm. He and Lailah had agreed to go back into this wholeheartedly, together. He's not about to question her resolve but sometimes he has no idea how she can bring herself to take on Shepherd after Shepherd when she has to go through their loss time after time. Just losing Mikleo for those two agonizing weeks had been enough to leave a wound on Sorey's heart he's not sure will ever heal.]
You're right, of course. Maybe I'm just trying to protect myself. I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate.
Perhaps, but don't forget your own strengths, Sorey.
[Another soft sigh.]
It's natural to want to protect yourself from something that hurts. For you, it's also natural to want to protect others from that hurt, too. You have a very tricky balance to maintain, but you'll learn in time.
[Lailah smiles a little, now, and maybe it can be heard in her voice.]
It's alright. You wouldn't be the first human to think that. After all, our perspectives on life are very different.
That's true. [Sorey leans back with a little sigh of his own.] I shouldn't be impatient. Slow and steady persistence is the way to go.
[The smile in his voice is probably obvious too, as is the affection welling up in his heart.] Thanks. I always feel better after discussing things with you. I might be a little biased, but I can't imagine anybody I'd rather have as my Prime Lord.
