"You know what it sounds like to me? It sounds like you're giving up. What happened to the man that I was told about? Surely some illness couldn't get you down and make you forget who you once were. I was not told I would be marrying a coward." Her words were harsh, but she couldn't be bothered to care, especially with him blowing up right back at her. She stared at him coldly, green eyes blazing with fury. She crossed her arms over her chest, tapping her heeled foot absently against the stone floor of the balcony. She ignored his apology. She didn't forgive him. He was definitely being a coward.<br/><br/>Scarlet wasn't a cruel person, per say, but she was definitely not one that would take something without a fight. At least, where it counted. She refused to be forced to raise a child on her own. If she had to, she would try to run away again. However, a part of her did want to help him. It wasn't fair that he had to die. She didn't know him or have feelings towards him, but she wasn't a heartless monster.<br/><br/>Her expression finally softened at his question, her temper waning a little as she regarded him with apple green eyes. "You look frail and sickly as if a strong gust of wind could force to fall over and not get up." She wasn't about to sugar coat her words, even if she wanted to. It was just the type of person she was. She was honest and could be quite blunt.<br/><br/>She tore her gaze from him and looked out at the view offered to them from their position on the balcony. Her heart hammered in her chest, most likely due to her temper and anxiety. She needed to calm down, especially if she was supposed to get married soon. "No, I have not found love." She finally looked over when the servant approached, her lips pursing though she said nothing. She watched the servant leave before she glanced at the prince.<br/><br/>"Listen, I'm sorry for being harsh and getting angry with you. But can you honestly blame me?" She paused briefly, before continuing without giving him a chance to respond. "There are illnesses that are untreatable, but most can be pushed back temporarily with a mixture of herbs and other careful treatment. If you give me time to study your illness, maybe I can find something that the doctors missed and then you won't have to die."
