[Rosekitten]

He listened to her really he was glad that she didn't want him to leave but he had tossed it out as a option knowing it was her choice really. He seemed to think on his answer before speaking though after a moment he figured he had unintentionally become indebted to the king of the light elves during his absence.. he could take a good guess that's who was behind her having a house out here. "I know you didn't.. I didn't really want to leave back then but I thought at the time it was for the best." He doubted his own choice now, if he had stayed.. he would have figured out some way to provide for her even if it meant he'd have risked his life more then he normally did he would have still done it.

He was about to say something but the sudden creak made him fall silent again and probably for the best seeing as it was one of the children. He just sort of listened to the little conversation between the two of them. Really he was still trying to grasp at the fact that he hadn't lost anything even though he had prepared himself for it.. he should have wrote her or something over the years maybe he would have found out sooner or at least he could have put his doubts aside.

Once she spoke again when the boy was asleep he thought about what she had said. "only recently?" he seemed to question her, was there a chance the child knew about the creatures in the forest? No that couldn't be it, it was probably just a coincidence. Or least that's what he thought sure it wasn't uncommon for a child to have nightmares... he was probably over thinking once again. He needed to remember he still had something him and Abel had to finish tomorrow morning.. there was still one of the creatures reported running lose in the forest.
