Why?

Why did she help me in the forest the first time we met?

Why did she ask me my name among her three questions?

Why did she apologize for it later?

Why did she refuse to use my name?

Why did she take so long to use my name at the tithe?

Why did she make me stay?

Why did she stay at the Unseelie Court for me?

Why did she wait for me after I became King?
Why did she declare herself to me?

Why did she go so far to complete the quest?

Why did she tell me about Ethine?

Why did she tell me to not go through with the duel?

Why will she cut herself in half for me?

Why does she do all these crazy things that she does for me?

I ask her this and her answer is a simple one.

"Because."

"Because of what?"

"Love."
