Glancing back up at him, Isalisk's eyes scanned over his features for a bit as her tired eyes stopped shedding any tears, her mouth opening slightly as she tried to reply to his words, but paused until she found what she wanted to say.<br/><br/>"I don't think you deserve anything cruel.." She said firmly, blinking a moment before she continued. "You saved my life, even though you didn't have to.. I am grateful for that."<br/><br/>She nodded to this, cementing this view of him into her head for that was what she truly did feel. No matter what crimes he had committed in his past, he had done something marvelous for her. Had her Mother known what he had done for her, she would have forgiven him as well, for she knew how much her Mother had loved and cared for her during her life.<br/><br/>To his ushering to eat she nodded away, prying some of the meat off and placing it into her mouth. It was nice, well cooked and not at all unpleasant. The warmth comforted her though it was hard to swallow, her overall expression still pretty solemn and melancholy despite her reassuring to him of her feelings.<br/><br/>"Are we going to leave right away after this?" She inquired absently, forcing another bite of the fish as she stared off at the ground. She hoped that her spirits would rise once she got her mind off of this dire topic, trying to poke and prod now mentally at things that usually cheered her up - Flowers, clouds, meadows and beautiful stones. She wanted to be happy, wanted to make sure that he felt like everything was okay even if it wasn't. It was an obsession of hers that she always tried to do, to make sure everyone was happy.
