Sorry for the delay in the update. I was ill for the last few days. Sincere apologies.
It was a few hours later when Ralof walked back in to Candlehearth Hall. He walked straight up to the table I was sat, nursing a bottle of mead, at, and sat down opposite me, with a blank expression on his face, showing nothing of his thoughts. We sat in silence for what seemed like 'ages', so I decided to break the tension and explain myself.
"Ralof-" I was cut off by him interrupting me.
"I know. You didn't mean what you said right?" he looked at me, his face betraying all the sadness he felt. I nodded my head slightly to show that he was correct. "OK. Will you tell me what you meant then?" He leant over the table on his forearms.
"Of course." I took a long breath and carried on. "I am immortal." I looked directly into his eyes and saw he was not expecting me to say those words. "a long time ago, I met a wizard, by the name of Pallando, and he told me that, in the future, I would love and lose and never die. Since then, I've tried not to fall in love or become too attached to anyone." I looked away from him as the bartender came to our table with 2 bottles of mead and placed them both down in front of me.
"Well... I.. I don't know what to say. Im sorry for walking out like that Aeyai. I didn't know your full situation. Forgive me?" He dropped his head but looked up towards me expectantly.
"Of course Ralof. You have nothing to be sorry for, it is I who should be sorry, I did not fully explain the situation to you, but I did not want to revisit the past again-" again Ralof interrupted me.
"No. You should not be sorry. Now. Should we go and see the Jarl of this lovely town?" Ralof stood and reached out his hand towards me, which i took and he pulled me out of my chair.
"Ulfric?" I asked.
He chuckled. "Aye. Ulfric"
