(Cousland POV)
As I left the camp my mind began to overflow with fear, with a dreadful feeling deep in my belly. i had seemed so certain, so sure of my path, and now that i had taken it i felt as if the floor had been pulled out from under me.
He hadnt chased me, hadnt responded, just stood there.
He didn't like me.
Why did I have to be so stupid!
I could have left things the way they were, it would have hurt, but it would be something.
I sat down on a mossy log and just stared out into the dark forest.
I was a monumental fool.
A twig snapped behind me, I leapt to my feet drawing my sword reflexively. Normal people would shout out to the intruder, ask who was there, I did no such thing, it made no sense to alert the enemy to your presence and awareness of them.
"Scarlett?"
A hot rush of shame and embarrassment filled me, I sheathed the sword as alistar came into view.
"alistar, you scared me"
He sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.
Gods he looked nervous.
"sorry about that…look I just wanted to talk about what happened before….in the camp I mean"
He cleared his throat.
My heart twisted at his awkwardness, more likely than not he was thinking up some way to let me down easy.
I cut him off before he could speak "look…just forget it alright? don't bother trying to let me down easy, I'm a big girl alistar I can handle a little rejection…we can just pretend nothing happened and go back to how it used to be"
I turned away as the urge to cry damn near overwhelmed me. I wouldn't cry in front of him, Damn it I was stronger than that.
And the silly man just stood there, he didn't do anything, as if he was stunned into silence.
