Thin, nimble fingers threaded through moon-pale locks as azure eyes gazed sightlessly up at the stone ceiling. Her husband slept deeply, his head resting against her breast, the heat of his body melding with her own. Cecil had always been too critical of himself, but she supposed that was part of the reason why she loved and needed him so much. The paladin knew the difference between good and evil, but he also believed blood to be thicker than water and would always desire to support those whom he held dear in his heart as best he could; now, though, he was more discerning as to what that support might entail. Rosa had never been so critical; she was very in tune with her own emotions and those of the people surrounding her, but that at times left her admittedly vulnerable to the suggestion of performing an action that would ultimately cause more harm than good. Helping one may hurt one hundred, and that was a harsh burden to bear. Cecil had born such pain on his own shoulders and would not allow for that weight to strain the white mage. He was protective, there was no question, but equally he showed her the honesty of how allowing emotion alone to guide action would, in the end, be one of the most troubling evils.
