Alistair glanced around as the voice spoke out and huffed, shaking his head as he turned and walked past Ashetta as he exited. "Yes Ashetta...because the way I truly desire to communicate with you is through a jumble of sensations and thoughts...nevermind actually having you present to say more then five words, and even that is pushing it.
The rings aren't a pass for being absent. Perhaps that was enough for Jasper, but...gods be damned...I actually thought marrying you would mean actually being with you.
The rings aren't worthless, but they may as well be if it means actually not having you around...and you think I didn't know what you were when I met you? I washed Odette's blood off of you, burned your clothes, and lied to Roanna for you...So don't spin this like I'm some ignorant body merely here so you don't feel alone, like Jasper.
I can't help you if you aren't here, or actually accepting of it...but instead you draw yourself away, like the world is only a dark place for you...and everyone and everything else just wouldn't understand so you must confront the dark by yourself...You miss the fucking point of marriage and love and what it's supposed to mean.
You excuse your isolation of people as protecting them, from who you are and what you are...too stubborn to see they don't care. So you go, confront this new dark world on your own if you want...I can only be the fool so long before humiliation sinks in, because I have Zero clue what it is I am to you other than a crutch to lean on when convenient for you.
If I want to know where you are, I'll be sure to feel for you...it's the only acceptable way right?" Alistair replied, his tone remaining even as he looked over Ashetta. "Going to run away again? Or is that best done when my back is turned or sound asleep..."
