Rhea didn't really understand for a moment. She stood there, her face still rather impassive.
//...wait...that- yes, i heard wrong, he's talking about...um... talking about something else, i'm sure of it...//
She felt something rush over her skin, like goosebumps. It felt nothing like when Triton had showed his care for her. Why did this feel any different?
A soft breath escaped her lips... and she slipped back into the hall, closing the door as she went, looking tense and scared, for some odd reason...

Landon heard something close, he looked up at the door. His eyes widened, and he panicked. "One second, luv," he said to Rhen, and placed her on the ground.
Silently, he raced to the door, and opened it.

Rhea was standing with her back to the door, her head bowed slightly to look down at her hands impassively.
She wasn't sure she had heard right so she was keeping all emotions in check, but she already knew which emotions they were, and that she liked the feeling...

Landon's eyes widened, he walked out into the hallway, and closed the door behind him, loud enough for her to hear it.
He wasn't sure what in hell to say, he hoped that she hadn't heard. But knew for a fact that she had.

Rhea stiffened slightly at the sound of the door closing being her. She had not done that for ages... since her training had begun reflex had been the one thing that she had not been allowed to show...
She felt her throat tighten sharply and the goosebumps start up again.
SHe still didn't turn around, for once she was too scared. Idiot thing to be afraid of, really... but it was the truth.

"Rhea?" Landon breathed her name, barely a whisper. He knew, just by her hesitation, he knew. She'd heard him, and there was nothing to take back about it.
He looked down, but then back up, he was not going to miss her turning around, he wanted to see her face.

She closed her eyes, listening to him say her name... it sounded so different for some reason.
"...I didn't mean to...." she began softly, rubbing her hands together in an obviously nervous way. She turned around, looking small and scared, her eyes a lot wider than usual.

Landon looked at her with almost mirrored eyes, but calmer. He'd lived with this fact for most of the time that he'd known her. The better of three years.
"What I said was not lying, I think you know that. And I'm not ashamed of it... I don't know what to do... it's up to you. Do you want me to leave again?" he asked her.

Rhea shook her head quickly, eyes still wide... almost tearful if you looked close enough.
She was shaking... odd feeling, she hadn't done that for a long while too.
"I never even... considered...it, you had Lorraine... and i just..." she rubbed her face weakly, in so doing wiping her face of the tears threatening to escape.
//God, i killed her... i killed her and yet he still....//

Landon looked down at the ground, finally starting to feel something. It was painful, but barely there. That told him something, he'd never loved Lorainne, it had always been... Rhea.
"It only took me a few minutes to figure out my feelings for you Rhea. It took me years to find them, but minutes to see them. Everything in my life has happened because of you, everything. I could hardly stand being out there in the forest without you... so I went to the stream everyday, where I met Lorainne. And I was waiting for you again when Rhen was born... everything's happened because of you, Rhea," his voice was a whisper by the end.

Rhea felt something... she wanted to be close to him... it was so odd. Always she had wanted to be away, far away-
"...that's why i couldn't keep you here when you asked me to go...that's why i couldn't kill you..." Rea whsipered, realizing it. Finally.
"...that's why i brought you back again..." She took a hesitant step towards him, weakly. "I'm sorry..."

Landon wasn't sure what to do. He took a step foward as well, mirroring her.
"What do you want me to do, Rhea?" he asked her, searching her eyes. He really had no idea what was happening, he almost thought that she'd just said that she'd loved him... almost.
"I'd do anything for you, Rhea, just ask me. I love you," he told her without blinking.

Rhea wrapped her arms around his neck, crying rather freely now. "I'm sorry..." she kept repeating, wanting to say I love you back, her whole body aching for it. But she was so sorry... she had to let him know first.

Landon closed the distance that was still left between them. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked at her confused.
"What are you sorry about, luv?" he asked her, shaking his head.

Rhea shook her head slightly. "I don't know... it feels like i took things from you, and i hate that..." she whispered, looking up at him.
