"I'm not going to make you say anything," Nabarl said. "But it won't change what I'm going to do. Better to say it all now."

Tears flowed silently from Lexi's eyes as she gently touched Nabarl's wing, feeling the feathers for perhaps the last time. She shook her head as she withdrew her hand. "It's not worth losing you before you die..." she whispered. She wouldn't say it unless she knew how he'd react. "I'd rather remember you as my friend..."

"Lexi, I won't take the feather back. I'll always be your friend," He studied her face as he spoke. "But I can't take back that other feather either. If I could, we might not even be here right now."

Lexi nodded. "I know..." She studied his face for a moment, wondering. She had to ask. "Would it have made a difference if...?" She couldn't bring herself to finish the question. What would have happened if she'd told him decades ago? Would anything have changed? Would they even still be friends?

(OOC: Remember that Nabarl is a cold reader. A hot read (Knowing the person) would be a walk in the park for him, especially someone he's known for a hundred years. So I need to know if Lexi is dodging what I think she's dodging, or whether you're trying to leave it open for Nabarl's interpretation...)

Nabarl sighed. Time to bite the final bullet...
"Lexi, did I ever tell you about my Shadow?" He asked, as he pulled a card out from his tunic. "About what it said to provoke me?"

Lexi shook her head as she wiped her eyes. Where was he going with this?

"It talked about you, Lexi," Nabarl said, avoiding looking her in the eye. "It told me to forget about my home, Vika. That I should just give in and choose you instead. My biggest secret..." he shook his head and took a deep breath before continuing. "My biggest fear, was how I felt about you, Lexi. It felt like giving up. And even after admitting it to myself, I wasn't going to say anything. Because I knew how I felt, and that I was just waiting to go home..."
Nabarl wiped his face, and finally got back to his feet.
"That's not true anymore. I know I'm never going back. And even if I did, it wouldn't be worth it," he paused to sigh. "But I still can't just let her go, Lexi. She doesn't deserve that. She didn't do anything wrong, and I still love her too."

Lexi felt fresh tears in her eyes as she nodded, not quite finding the energy or willpower to get back to her feet. Maybe she shouldn't have asked. Maybe it would have been better not to know. "I'll find a way" she said, quiet but determined "I'll get your feather to her. I promise."
