"I never said any of this was easy, Raea, so please, don't attack me. I am only trying to help." Thallan spoke calmly as he ate his breakfast. He could not let Raea get on his nerves. If he wasn't careful, he knew she would. She was stubborn and angry all the time and seemed allergic to fun of...

Thallan chuckled into his drink at Raea's departing wish to their guests. "There are certainly things we can have you do, if boredom is an issue," Thallan replied, nonplussed. "As for bringing you here, I think its been made perfectly clear. You need to figure out which world you truly belong...

Thallan raised a brow at Raea, but then their guests walked in and she fell silent. He wondered if she was just toying with him. The temperature dropped and frost drew wild patterns across the table by her hands. "Raea, please, the table," he said softly. It was a nice wooden table and he...

Just as he'd thought. No sleep for Raea, and he couldn't exactly blame her, either. With all the new memories dancing around her head, taunting her with truth and then dancing out of sight once more, it was a wonder she was still able to walk around. Not without bumping into things, however...

The next morning, Thallan was up early. He laid in bed and stared at the ceiling until he couldn't stay still any longer. He dressed and brushed his long crimson hair, tying it back in a lazy bun. He sat down to breakfast in the dining room. The long table from dinner the night before had been...

Anger flickered in her gaze as she stepped closer to him and he wondered if that was a common way for those in the mortal world to offer their thanks. He had saved her life not once, but twice, and she had the nerve to be angry at him? She was too stubborn for her own good. Maybe he should have...

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't have a good reason? If I said I did it off a feeling?" Thallan replied, not reacting to her earlier words. The only thing killing her was herself. Her true self, hidden within the folds of her mind. Her eyes were locked on his. Even though she had barely...

"I thought as much," Thallan said softly. He could not blame Raea for her anger and frustration in her situation, but he did think it being directed at him was a little unfair. Not entirely, but still. "You know, being cold, stubborn, and just plain mean will get you nowhere. A less kind Lord...

Thallan was sitting up, his gaze still on the bathroom door when Raea opened it and stepped into his room. She was clean, wearing one of his mother's nightgowns. In her unglamoured form, Raea had a larger chest and larger hips than Elasha, but Thallan pretended not to notice the way the gown...

Elasha nodded. "Wait here, and I shall fetch you something to wear." Thallan glanced up when his mother exited the bathroom. She left his chambers, but Raea was still in the bathroom. He glanced between the door Elasha had just left through and the door of the bathroom which Raea was behind...

Elasha could not help her faint smile when the mention of Thallan ruffled Raea. "You do not need to apologize. It has only been minutes since your glamour has been broken- I would not expect you to have accepted it and figured it all out by now," Elasha drained the water in the tub and...

Elasha was quiet for a moment. "Perhaps you should ask Thallan that question," she replied finally. Elasha was no fool, she had seen the glances between the two, right behind the enormous tension whenever they were in any room together. "I am glad that I could be helpful," Elasha said, and she...

Elasha helped Raea shed the robe and get into the fresh bath. It smelled like a garden in the bathroom, a soothing scent that would ease the nerves. "I do not understand much more than you, dear," Elasha replied sympathetically. The poor girl was going through so much. "But I do know that...

Thallan spent a good deal of time in the bath, until the water grew cold. Finally, he got out and dried off. He had a few nicks across his body that he hadn't noticed before, but he didn't bother with them. Realizing he had forgotten to bring a change of clean clothes to change into, he tied his...

Thallan raised an eyebrow at Raea's response just as her legs gave out from underneath her and she fell forward into Thallan's chest. His hands immediately came up to grip her upper arms, steadying her. She pulled back and sank down to the floor. "You will not be fine if you just continue to...
