You're so cold
but you feel alive
'I don't care who you tell.' But he does, because if he really didn't care then he wouldn't be so concerned with hiding it. 'It's me.' But if it had only been him then why did he drag Phoebe's name into the conversation at every turn? Was she only a shield to hide behind, or did he just not know how deep his own feelings for the woman ran? 'You're worth so much...'
"Bullshit," she said, and laughed. It was a hollow, bitter sound that died just past her lips, falling limp and flat to the ground like so many dead fish. "If you really thought me worth something, you should not have a problem telling people about me.
"If you didn't care whether people knew you kissed me, you would muster the guts to stand up and tell them. But you aren't, and you won't."
He came towards her, took the bow, raised it along with her hand. But Maea simply let go and backed off, shaking her head.
"I told you I would keep your secrets. I'm not breaking my word. But I'm not going to stay around you like this either. Come back if you ever find that having me around is worth sacrificing a little. Face, pride, your own ego... I don't care. Just don't think I will listen to anything as long as you chain yourself to that ring and that woman.
"If you can't even make up your own mind then there is no point to this." She turned, meaning to leave. Maea was a little surprised to find that the floor was not covered by blood. It felt as though it ought to be, considering how much she bled on the inside.
