Judith couldn't help but flinch when Rhyldrin snapped at her, she had not expected it but perhaps she did deserve it. She had been teasing him and had certainly said something to upset him. "You're right, Rhyldrin." she finally gathered the strength to speak again. "I have always had someone there for me, even if they weren't the best. There was always someone there." she held back the urge to say that the only person who really did seem to care about her was Rhyldrin himself. Her parents always seemed disappointed with her behaviour, the only thing they were proud of was her ability with the bow. The acted as if they had done it themselves, but really they had nothing to do with her skill. Judith had started to train on her own, she was the one who woke up early and trained, she was the one who trained until her body was too sore to continue. Not them. They always praised Brishen but what about her? It seemed as if she never mattered really.

Fuck it, she would let him know. "Though to be honest, the only person who I ever really felt was there for me was you. That may be odd for me to say but when you have parents like mine it's easy to see how I would think that." she smiled weakly at him. "They were always scolding me, I know that I misbehaved and made them angry sometimes but... It felt as if they were never happy with me. They bragged about my ability with the bow but that was it, after a while they didn't even seen to care when I told them I had perfected something. They just told me that it was wonderful or congratulated me, but they didn't even make an effort to seem like they cared." she seemed bitter thinking about it, she missed her home but if she were to return she would probably not want to live with her parents or even want to really speak to them. "They always praised Brishen," she spat, her ears dropped. "He was perfect to them, I think that they were upset that I was.... more open minded. I didn't have the same opinions as them. They thought that I was naive and always told me that I was too young to understand anything, to see how things really were." she looked at Rhyldrin, she felt as if she could open up to him. "Fuck..." she mumbled quietly to herself. She almost felt as if she could say she hated her parents.

"Don't apologize," she said quietly then closed her eyes. Judith breathed out a sigh. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking so many questions. I should know better, some people just prefer to be alone. I just couldn't be alone for the rest of my life, that's just me." she opened her eyes and looked at him. "I'm sorry." she smiled a bit at his comment about how she was tormenting and teasing him. "I wouldn't mind," she mumbled quietly though she wanted him to hear what she was going to say. "If you did anything, I wouldn't mind at all." she said it louder this time.
