    Private Tales The Weight of the Past

    Lileas gasped as Aleric's arms enveloped her, offering shelter from the downpour and a sense of security amidst the chaos. She clung to him, her body trembling with a mixture of relief and exhaustion. The rain plastered her drenched hair against her forehead, strands clinging to her face...

    Private Tales The Weight of the Past

    The moment the Robber was gone, her pale eyes returned to the shadows where Aleric had been, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions. She had urged him to leave, to protect him, knowing the dire consequences that would befall him if he were discovered. But now, as she surveyed the empty...

    "Evening, little bird." the Robber spoke around the cigar he smoked, the scent of which caused her stomach to churn and her eyes to water, as always. He knew she hated it. His heavy boots strode slowly into the ramshackle room and he kicked a splintered plank of wood. "You should get this place...

    "Me too.." she whispered back with a soft, mirthless smile. She had tried every way she could possibly think of to get a hold of the tincture that aided her symptoms, but no healer would help her. She looked helplessly back at him.. "Please don't look at me like that." "I'll be fine." she...

    Tension tumbled from her chest as she let loose the breath she hadn't realised she'd been holding. "You can, and you will." she answered in a hushed whisper, reaching a hand out toward him. "We're survivors, remember?" she smiled, but it was weak and tired. "I'll be fine. I promise. I'll visit...

    Shame brought the colour back to her cheeks and she swallowed any urge she had to bite back at him. It never done her any good anyway, and she was weak enough as it was without dealing with repercussions. Besides, she couldn't risk Aleric involving himself she Donnie inevitably raised a hand to...

    Lileas watched the shadows devour him, her heart pounding so hard in her chest that it sent her dizzy with fatigue. Her palms had been clammy, but by now they were sweating. Her head snapped toward Donnie as he spoke.. "Can't you hear the voices?..." she asked him with a frown. She was sick...

    Gods, she could hardly remember what it felt like to have anyone worry about her. She couldn't do anything about the smile that curled at her lips, though it was contorted by a look of horror as she heard Donnie's voice. Her heart stopped dead in her chest, her fear far more for Aleric than for...

    Lileas sighed at that grin and shook her head.. "I know.. I'm sorry.." she whispered and reached for his hand now that he was close to her. "I'm alright... Well, I will be.." she frowned, knowing that she likely looked as terrible as she felt. "I didn't have any way to contact you, he's got a...

    She was drifting off when something shifted in the shadows and she sat up a little, a flicker of fear on her clammy face. The moment she saw who it was however, there was no fear. There was joy and relief, then there was shame, quickly followed by confusion and finally, anger and concern. "What...

    Private Tales The Weight of the Past

    Lileas allowed a few days to pass before she'd planned on visiting Aleric again. A few comments had been made about her 'sneaking off' somewhere, and she could tell suspicions were raised. He'd have her followed, if she wasn't careful. And so she stuck to her schedule - working as a maid in the...

    She could only sigh fondly at that smile he still wore, the one she thought she'd never see again. Her chest squeezed, and she had just dropped her gaze when his hand so gently cupped her chin and brought it back to his. "Thank you...Me too." she assured with a soft smirk as she leaned into his...

    Lil flashed him a wary glance and her smile tightened, but she gave a light nod. She couldn't expect him to stay here. They weren't the type to take to being cooped up, but he had suffered a cage for so long now, she couldn't ask him to make the old chapel another prison. "I'll look into where...

    "Good." she answered firmly and squeezed at his hand before he let go of her. She didn't leave him sitting on the floor alone for long, and she gave a quiet laugh under her breath as she sat down beside him. "I think I can get one more day out of this place I've been working.. I don't like to...
