It wasn't an easy question, and it didn't have an easy answer. Tal wasn't sure he could answer it himself if someone had turned it around on him, truth be told, so he didn't try to rush Ru or interrupt her. It was enough to hold her, offering her his silent support and his love while she worked through what had been and what was now.
When it came down to uncertainty he nodded, his cheek warm against her hair, and let silence fall over them for a few minutes before he found his tongue again.
"I dunno about... all the rest o' that," he admitted. "Partyin' an' power an' all. But... no one's th'same person they were a year ago. Change... it's part o' livin'. An' growin' up, too, I guess." He couldn't shrug without dislodging the woman in his arms, so he settled for a sigh that ruffled golden threads. His lips tugged down towards his thinking scowl as his brow furrowed, wrestling with the complexities of life. "I guess... what makes you happy these days? Is there anythin', or anyone, that y'look forward to when y'wake up in th'mornin'?"
