Colette's face went a bit red with embarrassment at first as she quickly realize what he was asking her.  He wanted to marry her, of all people?  She covered her mouth with her hand as she watched Fitz as he poured his heart out to her.  It ached so badly to see him do this, to know that no matter how much she wanted to, she could never say yes.  Fitz was the first man she had thought about romantically in a long time.  He knew the struggles of losing a loved one and shielding yourself from them<br/>And now she may have to break the heart he was trying to repair with love.<br/><br/>"I-I....I can not accept your offer" she said as she tried to hardened her frightened voice.   She needed to slink back behind her mask again.  The face she put on when she was around the other orphans.  "As sad as it may sound, I can never marry...for I am cursed with a heavy burden" she said quietly before running at the guards.   They seemed to be paralyzed with confusion, which gave her just enough time to escape.  She leaped, grabbing onto the shoulders of a soldier in her way, and using his weight to flip over and avoid the wall of guards.  But she was quickly grabbed as she landed on her feet.  In her panick, she flipped the guard over and pinned him to the floor.<br/><br/>Colette used her time to try to take off running, a few guards on her tail.
