I am not asking your forgiveness. There is none for what has happened.
The words needed to be said still.
( it's why she hasn't said any of this. she knows it changes nothing. it shouldn't. what happened and what's happened since... the wounds are too deep. they're made. they're scarred. they're permanent. there is no changing it. there's not even forgiveness.
but nothing is assured anymore. and Baela doesn't want words left unspoken when even life is so tentative these days. )
[ what else can he say? she won't accept his forgiveness, even if he had any to offer; he murdered lucerys, there is no changing that. as he'd told alina, there is no room for forgiveness when one desires vengeance in true. ]
You have my peace, cousin. For now.
[ it's the most he can give. the most he'll ever ask for. ]
