“I don’t know,” I told her honestly. I wasn’t sure if she really was helping me become more at ease with things, not as yet anyway. I felt very flustered.

"You don't know if he'd be upset? Wouldn't he want you to be at ease with people without being so...shy?" I moved my head just a little bit just to look at her.

"I...I don't know," I said again, dropping my gaze and looking at my hands. "There's a difference between not being shy and not kissing someone because it might upset the person you love."

"Would it helped if I told you that many from outside Terre d'Ange that first come to the Night Court are like that. Not kissing someone in the fear of that it might upset their spouse?"

"No," I said, shaking my head slightly. "We are both d'Angeline, but that does not make me feel any more comfortable with it."
I felt the carriage sway as it turned into the drive to Gentian.

"Then come inside with me," I suggested. "Or we can go pay a visit to Darien and see if he would be upset over a simple kiss."

My head flew up and I looked at her, eyes wide at the suggestion. “No, we couldn’t. What if he was upset? What if he got very upset with you?” I said, shaking my head.

"Would he be truly upset with you over a simple kiss if he truly loves you? Remember the precept: Love as thou wilt?" It was mayhap a long shot, but I hoped it was worth it.

“I do love as I will,” I told her. “I love him with all that I am. That is why I worry about what he would think.”

"Listen to me," I said. "This may sound odd coming from an adept, but if he truly cares about you and loves you, then he shouldn't have to worry about losing you. And you shouldn't have to worry about what he would think."

I looked at her, blinking for a moment. “It is not about losing me, not me losing him. It is a matter of doing something that displeases the person I love,” I told her. “I know that if I were to find out he had kissed someone else, I would be upset. I do not wish to do anything that would make him feel that way. If I knew he was alright with it, that would be another matter entirely.”
The carriage drew to a stop at the door to Gentian. Instead of moving to exit, I settled more firmly in my seat. “I think I should be going home now,” I said. “Thank you again for your help with the chair.”

"Now, did I say anything about losing anyone?" I felt the carriage slow down then finally stop. "But if that's where you stand for now, okay. Just do this for me. Talk to him about you've experienced." I moved and opened the carriage door and turned to look at her again. "Who knows, he might actually accept it." Then I stepped out and closed the door.

She was the one who had brought up the subject of losing someone. She was confusing even as she left.
I tapped the roof of the carriage in the pattern that meant home, wrapping my arms around myself as the carriage began to move again.

I stood there and watched the carriage pull away. I sighed, knowing that some people follow the precept of loving as one would mayhap a little too...strictly. I shrugged and headed inside.
