Théadan listened silently as Navia explained she had overheard Silva reading a letter to Brydon. What must they have thought of them? What would they do now they knew the two 'criminals' they had living in their home were the cause of their parents home being burned to the ground. Would it frighten them? Would they side with Maevar? Would they kick them out. Théadan worried, and the only comfort he could find was reassurance that Ragná and Ivarn had made it safely to a village. Everything was such a mess, their past would not leave them alone for as long as they remained in Mes'Mo'Tan, of that Théadan was certain.<br/><br/>The guilt in Navia's voice was obvious, Théadan had lived with his own for so long, he knew the sound all too well. She was tired of hurting people, and listed off a number of those who lives they had affected along the way. Not one of them has either one of them intentionally tried to hurt, but somehow events had unfolded to do so. The mention of Théadan's family particularly pained him, but for the likes of Ragná, Ivarn, Armen and even Ivette, he could only hope everything worked out for them. He felt helpless to balance out the terrible things that had happened, and could only hope in the future, together with Navia, they could repay these people.<br/><br/>When Navia's question came, asking if they were selfish for staying together, Théadan felt taken aback by it. It was not something he had really considered, being with Navia felt natural, and right. But with all the pain they had caused, he understood why Navia felt the need to ask it. "It's others causing people to suffer, but we are the reason for it." He stated, before dwelling on how much it was their responsibility for others being affected by their relationship. "Maybe we are a little selfish for it," He admitted with a due thought. "Truthfully I don't know. Apportioning blame for everything that has happened sounds like it would be futile, it's all too murky."<br/><br/>A deep sigh followed Théadan as he stared up at the ceiling he had come to know all too well these passed couple of days. "My family are at fault for so many wrongs, to your country, to you, and to us. But knowing what they may do to others who are kind enough to help us, we have still taken their help when our need has been great." He spoke his thoughts aloud as he deliberated, maybe she could make more sense of them than he. "I don't want to put anyone else in harms way, Alu'wei. But I would never give you up either, not only because I'm in love with you, but because all this suffering has to have meant something." After how far they have come, everything they and others had suffered, any turning back from it now would surely make all the pain pointless. There was only ever one option for them. "The sooner we set sail for Khlurios, the better."
