She was a naive, innocent woman. So not deserving of her fate.
Even though I made it quite clear I do not like two-legged creatures, she accepted me.
She even... pet me.
Was I only an animal to her? Did she even recognize me as a friend? An ally in battle, perhaps, but a friend?
I wonder. I also wish.
Wish I could've spent more time with her, learn more about her... the Cetra were such an interesting race.
Perhaps I only liked her because of her heritage.
I am only trying to kid myself. Of course I liked her, who couldn't? The beautiful, kind angel which never showed hatred, only kindness, a rare trait among today's people.
But we were different species. Anything between us was clearly impossible.
I miss her even so. I especially miss...
When she scratched me behind my ears. Only she seemed to be affectionate towards me, but was it because I am an animal?
She was odd that way.
But... maybe she really did value me.
I know I valued her.
Even today, I value and hold dear that time I had with her.
Those memories will last a lifetime.
The Beauty... and the Beast.
