Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

"It's nothing." Aarys said reassuringly. "I trust you to main the right decision no matter what. Do... You trust me?"

[King Acunasti]

"What do you mean?" Valentin asked.

[Eltee]

"I dunno. I have been irrational and impulsive about... Mary, for the past few hours."

[King Acunasti]

"What does that have to do with trust?" Valentin responded. "You mean, do I trust you not to cheat on me?"

[Eltee]

"No, trust as in... I dunno. Everything." Aarys said. "I trust you with my life, with everything. Everything."

[King Acunasti]

"Well, I hope I can trust you to help me out when I'm hanging off a cliff." Valentin laughed.

[Eltee]

"You know I would. Just... I dunno. Maybe it was a dumb question..." Aarys said, averting her gaze.

[King Acunasti]

"I just don't know how to answer." Valentin said.

[Eltee]

"You don't trust me?" Aarys whispered.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin laughed. "Trust you with what?!"

[Eltee]

"I... Nevermind, it's not important." Aarys said hastily, although she was obviously saddened by his response.

[King Acunasti]

"Baby," Valentin gave Aarys a warm, loving kiss. "I know I probably just p*ssed you off. I'm sorry. I trust you in as many ways as I can think of."

[Eltee]

Aarys released a pent up breath. "Good." She said. "That was just a funny answer, I guess..." She took a steeling breath. "I just... You can trust me. Please, just... Know, I will do anything for you."

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

I have a few free moments!

"Rys," Valentin placed both hands on her cheeks. "Why are you always saying those types of things? Babe, I know you'd do anything for me. You don't need to prove yourself."

[Eltee]

Aarys looked away. "Yes I do." Aarys replied. "You are the best thing that ever happened to me. And... There are a dozen better women than me. I need to..." She covered her face. "Now it sounds like I think you'll be unfaithful! I don't. I... I just want to be worthy of you, Val."

[King Acunasti]

"I don't like that." Valentin said with concern. "I don't like that at all. We need to have a serious talk about this."

[Eltee]

"What do you mean? I mean, did I do something wrong..?"

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Alright, I have to go now.

"That's what I mean." Valentin said. "You're obsessed with making me happy. You tell yourself that you're not good enough for me, and that I could be with far better women. Then you call me perfect. None of that's true, babe."

[Eltee]

"I... I... I dunno..." Aarys mumbled. "If... I'm just trying to make you happy." She looked up at him, her eyes bearing the forlorn expression of a lost puppy.

[King Acunasti]

"I am happy." Valentin said with a smile. "You've done so much for me, sweetheart. I love you. But I'm so far from perfect, it's not even funny. Don't pretend I am. You don't have to try to make me happy. Believe me."

[Eltee]

"I'll... I'll try to remember that." Aarys said, frowning slightly. In her mind, Her image of Valentin remained untarnished.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Man, she's got some issues.

Valentin was sincerely worried. He didn't like the look in her eyes, and he had a feeling that no matter what he said, she wouldn't change her thoughts about him. "You alright?"

[Eltee]

"I'm fine." Aarys replied, altogether too hastily.

Spoiler:

Every character has a fatal flaw. I know what the other could use to split them up. Only one thing in the world. But, of course, I'll say no more.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Other? Another one of Aarys' flaws, or Valentin's?

"Come on, sweetheart." Valentin pleaded. "What's the matter?"

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

I've said enough.

"Nothing!" Aarys said pleadingly. "Nothing is wrong."
