The words were out before she could stop them, her shoulders slumping as she just... Held herself close. She could definitely hear what Haurchefant was saying... What wasn't said in his words, too. It made her happy. But, unfortunately, that was also exactly what she meant by tethers. She would've wanted to be tethered for that reason, having already been exposed to the scare of losing him when he took that attack. How angry she'd been at Thordan and Zephirin in particular, how furious she'd been that Haurchefant had been hurt because of her carelessness... How much she realized that it would be painful to lose him. How much pain she was in when she thought she had lost him for a while there.
"I must away to the east soon, you know that. I do too. As much as I wish I could stay for more than a few days, I... I'm needed elsewhere."
When she pulled back she was flushed, her eyes shining with the small amount of tears brought on by the wave of emotion. She looked at him, wanting to get a hold of herself, but at that time unable to really pull herself together.
"Thank you for taking us in, for believing in us, and for fighting alongside us. Thank you for everything."
It was a little frightening, but by that point he'd already said something that encouraged her, something revealing what he felt, and it made her realize that she needed to say something to.
"For what it is worth, I would have stayed -- as long as you would have had me."
So much for pet person AU, sob
