"Do you wish to tell me?" He asks.

"Am I a princess?" I ask.

"What?" He looks down at me.

"Never mind." I lower my head.

I press it into him. I look at the bandages. 

"Why would you ask such a question?" He asks.

I move my hand down his chest.

"It's... strange." I admit.

"I think you have the heart of a thousand." He lifts my head up.

"Thank you." I say.

"Are you alright?" He asks.

"Just... tired from Mother's sternness." I say.

"Did she hurt you?" He tenses.

"No. I deserved it." I say.

"Of course you didn't." He says.

I nod.

"Pssst..." I hear.

Nuada takes out a knife. I put my hand on his hand. I kiss it. I look up. He sits up. Tsuey was standing in the doorway. Yeah, no wonder she's scared of him. If I didn't love him, I I move my hair back. He turns. I get off of him. I walk over. Tsuey grabs my hand. Her eyes were filled with tears. He sits up.

"What is it?" I ask.

"They're...dead" She says.

I look at him. He pulls on his coat.

"Tsireya." Nuala comes.

"What is it?" I ask.

"You better come see this my sister." Nuala says.
