He really hadn't been thinking when he'd blurted the words out at the woman and when she so patiently reminded him of that he paused, his ears pinned back against his skull as she nearly thrust him from his rotten mood. Instead of returning to join the woman he lowered his head and softly said. "I'm sorry.." And he was, he hadn't meant to bring up her horrid past and he couldn't believe he'd let his emotions get ahold of him and allow him to use such bitter words.. but he couldn't just release his true feelings to her, she was the last one he would tell, yet she was the one he wanted to know more than anyone. It was a cruel game being played out inside his being. He just shook his head and moved on.
He never heard her rise to leave, the question she let follow him caused him to sigh, his shoulders sagging as he shook his head in response. "No, but it would make life easier.." He pushed on, trying to forget that this whole scene had even taken place. He wished he hadn't been so cruel and unjust to the woman but he'd never found himself in this situation before. He paused just before the falls, not looking back as he spoke, his words sorrowful but firm. "Just go Cwmfen, before I end up hurting us both." With that he moved past the curtain of cascading water and moved on down the tunnel where his little hideaway was, the place he hadn't shared with anyone but the exotic woad woman.
