Cordelia was in the biggest crisis of her life. The man she loved was alive and well, but he came when she was finally starting to move on. What was she going to tell Gregor? He had shown her so much comfort, so much love. Could she really just throw all that out the window for Robin? The more she thought of it, the more she could not find an answer. Gregor's first wife, Nowi, had already died during the war. To leave him now would crush him… but she could not ignore Robin. Despite all she had felt for Gregor, she felt it in double for Robin.
What was perhaps her only saving grace was that Gregor was out on a contract, and would not return for about another week. This left her plenty of time to think, but it also left her plenty of time to do something she'd regret. Seeing him on that bed, his face a mix between happiness and regret (much like her own), memories of a happier time came to her. She remembered all their nights as husband and wife, using a tent bedroll or even the ground for what should have been in a bed. Her face grew red as she remembered how he felt, how she made him feel.
It was at this point Cordelia realized that she hasn't spoken a word to Robin. "H… Hello." Her voice was devoid of her usual confidence. The best way to describe it is to call it a depressed whisper.
Robin was jarred from his thoughts. He seemed to gaze at her for eternity, studying every detail of her. His voice was also devoid of it's usual cocky tone, it was now the voice of a scared child, "H.. Hello."
The two stared at each other, unable to say anything more. Cordelia walked over to the side of his bed, and sat down next to him. For the longest time, they merely gazed into each other's eyes, comforted by the warmth of their red eyes. Then, they held each other's hands, comforted by the warmth of their skin. Then, they kissed, comforted by the warmth of their lips. It wasn't long before their clothes started falling off. Alone, in the infirmary, they made love with each other, comforted by the feelings that neither of them had felt in a long time. They then lied down next to each other, comforted by the warmth of each other's heartbeats.
Naked and dozing off, Cordelia realized what happened. She had cheated on her fiancé with her husband. It would be funny… If it weren't so sad.
