Aria wasn't sure what the accompanying feeling from Dane and forgiveness meant. Dealing with people and their emotions was never something she truly understood - or even knew how to handle. He forgave her but for what? For having a life outside of him. Aria pushed the rising anger away. Dane was back... Lucas was gone. Life was like it had been before falling into the darkness. The darkness Dane had caused. It fluttered insider her like a dark butterfly wanting to get out. But the moment of hope was dashed with is request.
Never see Nox again? Could she do it? Aria already knew the answer but there was one problem. Aria knew that Dane would lead down a path she couldn't return from. The darkness fluttered harder. It wanted free.
Together? Forever? There was sincerity in his emotions.
Aria smiled with a nod to affirm visibly her thoughts. Aria knew the moment he'd asked what she'd say. But the problem still was there. Nox was the anchor now. She could stay away, but that didn't mean she wouldn't leave him breadcrumbs to follow. He was her safety net - if she became what she feared Nox would save her. He would return her to the depths of hell where she belonged - and Dane with her. Aria had no doubt in her mind he would.
Aria spoke softly taking in the feeling of Dane's hands on hers, the level gaze he gave her, the soft undercurrent of calm of his senses. It wouldn't be hard to pour the devotion she had for that first touch. Dane had done something no one in her life up to that point had done and he fused him into her soul. It was a little thought, a small push of her power through the touch of the hands, as she smiled at him. "If I asked the same of you?"
Aria leaned closer and whispered. "I don't know what you two did, but short of the power, I can offer better hunts."
The darkness inside flapped its little wings and filled Aria's soul. It stretched inside her and Aria embraced it. Nox would clean up her mess - it was why she became friends with him - ever the bleeding heart...
