OOC here. /+000
Arriving at the springs seemed to revive her slightly. Hadley shook his head fiercely at her words. Became free...because of you. The words were still jerky and quiet, but they held a powerful conviction in them. Hadley would never have tried to become free if he hadn't had something that he'd wanted so much. He wanted to be with Selene, to be able to make her happy. He couldn't do that as a slave, so he freed himself for her.
Hadley held Selene gently as she carefully lowered herself, walking into the springs. He followed after, letting the warmth wrap around them. Selene seemed so delicate right now, as if she was going to shatter. Maybe going to Anathema had been wrong. He'd just wanted to be free, to be able to care for her. It seemed that he'd only ended up hurting her though. The words of attachment had him shaking his head again. He couldn't explain what was right, but simply sat down close to her, brown eyes watching for anything he could do for her.
