AARYN
"Oh?" he asked Gwyn cautiously, glancing around. There was no one nearby. They were completely alone.
Gwyn smiled. "You don't need to look like that Aaryn, I'm not going to pounce on you. I wanted to make sure you're okay? And I wanted to let you know… since Elreth took me as her Cohort—which I'm really excited about—I think I need to… maybe put more space between us?"
Aaryn blinked. "Okay. I mean, sure. That's… a good idea, I guess?" It was impossible to agree with her without insulting her, but Gwyn just smiled—though he didn't miss the hint of sadness in it. "Me too. Now, are you okay? Have you talked with Elreth? Sorted things out? Will you be joining us on the Court? It's going to be pretty awesome!" she winked.
Aaryn forced a light laugh, but he looked down. "Unfortunately, no, I won't be joining the party. But I'm… okay. Thanks for checking on me. But isn't Elreth the one you should be checking on?"
