Together, it seemed, we could do anything. How long had I been an empty shell, devoid of life and meaning? I had spent my years wandering alone, only talking if it related to the war we were fighting. Then I was captured and spent days and months being tortured, knowing there was no way to escape. I was saved, though, by somebody so unexpected it caught me off guard. It was the rider of the precious egg I had once protected. When I awoke I felt such gratitude and a strange friendship with him that it caught me by surprise. However my position as a diplomat complicated things so I hid my friendship from him, and everyone else, scared that it would impact the chances of ending this war.
Did I love him? Yes, but in no more than friendship. He had saved me and as we traveled together and I introduced him to my world we became close. I pained me to realize how close he had thought we were, I did not feel so strongly for him and I stopped his advances. I knew that I had hurt him and left him feeling vulnerable but it was necessary to allow him to continue his training with no distractions. It seemed to have the opposite effect as he continued to pursue me, so I ignored the pain in his eyes when I told him in no uncertain terms that we could not be together, and I proceeded to ignore him.
Did I love him? Yes, but not in the same way he did. The love I felt for him was strong, but still no more than friendship. If he hurt, I hurt, if he was happy, I was happy. But could I say the same about other people too? He was probably my closest friend and he finally began to except that we couldn't be more than that. I was relieved until Saphira told me that he still pursued me but he had decided that my friendship and trust was more important than any feelings he had for me. How could I allow our friendship to continue when I knew he had not yet given up? I would make it worse if I ignored him. I enjoyed his company and did not want our friendship to end. If he could keep himself in check I saw no reason to avoid him any longer.
Did I love him? Yes, I cared for him deeply, that was impossible to deny, the overwhelming fear that had gripped me when I discovered that he was alone, unprotected and vulnerable was a silent testimony to that. So I had rushed off to help him. I found him relatively quickly, and, along the way I found myself too. I never thought I could open up to anyone. I never thought I could talk so deeply about painful things, yet I found comfort in his presence. No matter, his love for me was different from what I felt.
Again he saved me. He saved me from a violent soldier's battle, something that I feared greatly. Together, me, Eragon and Saphira, killed the shade that threatened us. Everything we had been through together did not add up to the fear, shock and pain I felt when I learnt of Oromis and Glaedr. I needed comfort and I wanted him to comfort me. Not caring about the consequences I leaned into him, tears flowing freely, and found what I was looking for. I had never let anybody see me like this but somehow I didn't care. I felt vulnerable but protected.
Did I love him?
Yes?
