[She does stop, turning back to him, eyes following the line of his as they go to his parents graves. She understands, more than she would like to actually, knows that piling this all on him isn't fair. She just wants to be upset and feel justified in her thoughts that of course he couldn't love her, but though her heart is bleeding, her brain understands (Wisdom check: 21).

What was she expecting, really? To spring this on him and have him immediately declare his love in return? He had just come back to his island, his people, his friends and his betrothed, all things he had been focused on for years, and he was facing an election to hold the throne of his father. She was as stupid as she had tried convincing Myri. And she wasn't exactly being fair.]

I... I'm sorry, Marcus. I shouldn't have just sprung that on ye, and I know that nothing can... [she shakes her head, one hand scrubbing at her lips as she trails off.] Ye've got too much on yer plate right now ter have to deal with this, and I'm not exactly being fair to ye by laying it all out there. But ye deserved the truth.

Ye've had enough of people playing ye false, or holding back and not giving ye all the facts. This may not be on the same level as yer island, but a promise is a promise. [She doesn't try to walk off again though, instead crosses her arms over her stomach, fingers gripping the fabric of her shirt on either side of her abdomen.]
