"I see, I'm sorry to hear. What about your brother? Is he still around?" Daric asked, lowering himself next to her and tried to wrap his hand behind her and petted her back, trying to make her feel just a little bit better "you made it sound like someone was trying to kill you back there. So this is why you wanted to recruit an army? To avenge your lover? I'm assuming the odd arrow you had was for the bastard" Daric said, he felt a little jealous but not sure why he'd be. He didn't know this Royal until just a few days prior at most "I trust you, that's why I wanted you on this journey, if you trust me you can tell me anything or confide with me. I may not be able to replace your lover, not that I planned to anyways, but I do want us to become friends. Or more if you so chose" he said with a reassuring smile, trying to cheer her up.
