it isn't that he meant to deceive her.

fera is nice enough, intelligent and reasonably pretty and of course fully human. if he has to get married--and he does, because it's what father expects--she'll do perfectly well.

but sometimes he thinks she doesn't know he's only marrying her because he has to--because she'll do. and he can't explain it--not without hurting her, which is the last thing he wants.

he's made a mess of things, but he has an obligation here--more than one--and whatever else he is, however unintentionally cruel and deceptive he has been, he always fulfills his obligations.

You're back! You're back!

You have already ripped out my heart and trodden on it.

Just- damn. The things you do with these people and their complicated hearts.

I missed it a lot!

Wow, Kellom, 99% of the time you're a complete asshole and then you do shit like this and make me kind of like you. Not cool.

But the story is fantastic.
