Isaura
Somewhere out there, she seems to hear Raymond calling her ~ No matter; let him wait. ~ Aware of the unreasonable resentment building up in her ~ Perhaps the lass chooses to ignore him and now he turns to me...
Looking at Galadria, she replies softly ~ "I hope you do not get me wrong, fair warrior. I should hardly think it fit for you to act the temptress; that would be far too out-of-character for one as noble and upright as you. Yet I feel there is no harm in at least making an effort to speak to one who enjoys my company and whom I like." ~ Her voice hardens a little ~ "This is a world where the fittest survive. If you are one step back, it will take forever to catch hold of your competitor." ~ The fiery light in her eyes winking in the sun ~ "Fight for your happiness that you deserve. I know you have the strength of character that I sometimes lack."
Suddenly wondering if she has spoken too much, she glances at Galadria anxiously ~ "I hope I have not offended you, Galadria. I spoke with candour because I trust and care for you... yet the final decision is yours. I will not speak on this subject again, unless it pleases you."
