"Well, maybe we could poison her." Faren joked, summoning a half-hearted smile. "Does the Lord not say that all sins are equal in his eyes?"<br/><br/>After having himself chastised, Faren followed Samantha to the house. He was sure he saw a smile tug at her lips because of his joke though.<br/><br/>"Thank you for telling me that." The paladin said once he had entered the house after her. "You have no idea how much those words strengthen my heart."<br/><br/>And it was true. Already, it felt like his crumbling defences had been strengthened a hundredfold. He knew that with Samantha at his side, that they would surely be able to overcome this problem.<br/><br/>"I promise you that I will do all I can to make things right. You mean so much to me, and if I were to lose you I do not think I could go on. That is why I will do everything possible to fix this. I promise, we will be together someday soon."<br/><br/>As he spoke, Faren caught a glimpse of Maisie running circles around Nimue outside. The image brought a small smile to his face.<br/><br/>"Look at her out there." He said softly to Samantha. "She's beautiful isn't she? I know that she in a way represents the mistakes I have made, but I do not feel as if she is one of them."<br/><br/>With a sad sigh, he turned to face his love.<br/><br/>"I am incredibly sorry for the pain that I caused you." Faren said, a tear rolling down his cheek. "It means so much to me to hear that you still care for me, and that you'll even care for Maisie as a daughter."
