Landon shook his head. "No, don't think that. Never think that. It was never you. It was all because of you, you never took anything from me. You gave things to me," he told her, and pulled her closer to him.

Rhea hesitated for half a second before kissing him gently, her trembling arms tightening around him all the more.
//i love you, i love you, i love you...///
She didn't know that when she had pulled back the words spilled out of her mind to her mouth and out for him to hear... she was too dazed.

Landon's suddenly shocked mind heard the words like they were echoing in his skull. He wrapped his arms tighter around her waste, although carefully. He kissed her soundly, making sure that she could feel everything that he was feeling behind the kiss.
He wanted her to know that he did forgive her, that it wasn't just... something that he was saying. No, he wanted her to know just what he felt for her, because it was way too powerful for words.

Rhea felt it in an absent minded sort of way. It was nearly physical.
Her thoughts tumbled over each other, trying to figure out what she should be doing... if this was a good idea.
Her rather senseless mind shoved the thoughts aside. It didn't matter... it couldn't matter.
She looked back at him, smiling weakly, her whole body buzzing with the feeling of his skin against hers.
"...this... was a little unexpected." she murmured.

Landon nodded, then his eyes widened, and he looked down. His hands lost their weight on her waste, and he pulled back. He stepped away from her, not looking her in the eye.
The thoughts sunk in, he couldn't do this. He couldn't be with her, even if he wanted to. It was because of prince Triton that she was still alive. Because he had a crush on her, and he couldn't mess with that.. or she'd die.

Rhea went to him again, feeling like he was a bit of a magnet. She knew what she was thinking, knew that he was probably right, but she knew Prince Triton she was in no imidiate danger.
"Don't please..." she whispered, not really looking at him.

Landon looked up at her, his eyes blank as a shadow. "Don't what, Lady Callisto?" he asked her, keeping his eyes totally void of any emotions.
It hurt him like nothing that he'd ever felt before to do this. Hurt him like someone was jabbing a red hot poker through his stomach.

It made Rhea want to cry. She bowed her head slightly, eyes closed tight.
//Don't cry, he's doing this for you.... he's doing it for you...//
The tears came anyway and she hated it...hated that she should cry. She didn't want to make him feel worse.

Landon reached out a hand, wanting to help her, before realising that that's what he was doing. He pulled back his hand, attempting not to make this worse.
"I'm sorry, Lady Callisto, I should not have imposed," he told her, and turned to walk back into the room.

Rhea just nodded, her face in her hands, her back to the opposite wall. "It's ok... it's ok...." she kept murmuring, as if she were calming herself down as well.
//Don't cry, damn it...you nearly died five times and you didn't cry...don't cry...//
She sighed deeply and started walking down the hall, shaking slightly, trying to calm herself. She didn't allow herself to glance back at Landon... it would hurt too much.

Landon stepped into the room with the same solemness that he'd stepped out of it. He saw Rhen waiting exactly where he'd left her.
"Does Rhea not like you back, daddy?" she asked curiously.
Landon didn't know what to say to that, didn't want to say anything about that. "You're too young to understand, but no, she doesn't. She can't," he told her.

ooc: one two, skip a few...
bic:
Probabtion was still not over... how many months left? Rhea glanced at the sky, seeing the sun begin to melt the winter cold. She sighed, tightening her heavy cloak around her a bit.
She watched from a distance as Rhen and Lady Saturn stood in the icy field training. On what she was not sure...

Rhen stood across from her trainer. She should have been breathing hard, but she wasn't. In fact, she was almost passive.
"What next?" she asked, almost impatiently. As a child she'd always been trained on how to run, in case they were ever found. By the time she could walk well enough, she'd been constantly made to walk. She'd never forget that.

Saturn did not look impressed. "Watch your tongue and your respect or i will run you until you cannot get up. No matter how long it takes." She told her simply and the calm grace with which she said it made all the truth show. She was serious.

Rhen pouted a little bit, not happy with this arrangement at all. But she sighed, and waited instructions. There wasn't much else she could do right now.
