Cordelia
"I do! Tal, I do think better of you. I- I didn't mean to snap. I'm sorry. Please... Just- just don't go like this." Oh how rushed and desperate her words are. Barely restrained, wavering and wobbling as her tears freeze on her lashes, cheeks burned red from the cold. Caido was on the brink of war and the idea of leaving things like this makes her sick. Fear turning her stomach and freezing her blood in her veins.
Still, he withdraws from her and she feels her knees buckle, collapsing into the snow, a sob caught in her throat. "I don't want to lose you, Tal. I didn't think before I said anything and I'm sorry." There are those words again. Sorry, sorry, sorry. It's all she can manage to say. The Shrike was known for many things. Her silence and quiet contemplation being one of them, but she was also steadfast and passionate, quick to jump in and defend those she cared about. Being stuck between two people she considered family tore at her and she struggled, clearly she did, given where she's found herself now.

Say something, something like you love me
Less you want to move away from the noise of this place
