p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span lang="EN-GB"He couldn't believe his ears. The oaths should have... He rarely probed the bond just for the sake of checking and ascertaining how truthful she was, but he couldn't stop himself right now.

Moraine sat at the vanity, brushing her hair, basking in the calmness Thom felt ever since they retired to their rooms. "Why don't you just ask and we can be done with that?" She smiled to herself having unsettled him. He clearly wasn't prepared for her to ask./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span lang="EN-GB""You didn't like the taste of this awful drink. Not really."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span lang="EN-GB""No," she admitted and knew he was confused at her pleasant memories of drinking it. She was a little apprehensive about sharing that, but she promised honesty and as much openness as she could. "No, the taste is awful, really. But it was... safe."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span lang="EN-GB"Thom got up, came closer and kneeled by her side to cuddle into her. "You know it will be better in the end if you let it out," he whispered. "But you don't have to, if it's too much."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span lang="EN-GB"It wasn't and she wanted to get better for him, if she could. She wanted good years to await them. The more he knew the more he could work around. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span lang="EN-GB"She knew he would not need more to understand. It was a kind of code between them by now. First she felt concern from him, then anger. He worked on it, but it still showed up from time to time and she couldn't blame him. A part of her was even glad about his anger on her behalf./span/p
