Anneken was stunned. "You...love...me?  She sat down in another chair, almost missing it and falling to the floor.  Then she processed the other part.  He had pointed out the fact that she was Nord--or had Nord blood.  There it was again.  He was nice about it but he was concerned about his own pain.  Not hers.  To watch him stay young while her eyesight dimmed and her skin grew wrinkled and ugly.

"I would not extend my life with magic, Galadir," she said gently, not for anyone. "I'm not sure how I feel about you.  I have considered you a dear friend, but I do not know about love.  Not yet.  I haven't had time to think about it.  We've been busy.

I think you are not sure yourself, for if you were sure, you would not even bring up the issue of my lack of purity in blood. I don't have any experience with love, for no one has ever loved me in that way, but I do know from my parents that love crosses all barriers and breaks all boundaries. It does not depend upon anything except the feelings each has for the other.

I think we should give it more time."

Rising, she walked toward the door. She turned back briefly. "Rest now.  I will go check on Lee and see if there is anything I can do for him."
