"See, now you're getting defensive." Rose said. "I'm not marrying anyone ever, ok? So just drop it Rose." Raythor said. "No one will ever have to care if I'm hideous and malformed."

"You're not malformed and I'm not getting defensive!" Anella nearly yelled, she turned around quickly and started to run away.

"Anella!" Raythor said, but not as loudly as he could have. He sighed, closing his eyes. Rose looked over at him. "Whoops." She said. "That actually made me feel a little bad." "Well it should have. Poor Anella." "Poor Anella? I just convinced you you were hideous and malformed." "No one cares about me." "She..." Rose broke off. "I do." Raythor opened his eyes again

(Why did I write run? I definately didn't mean to write run.) Anella stopped when she felt like she was far enough away. She slid down a tree and sat there breathing hard. She shouldn't have done that, she knew she shouldn't have. But...She put her head in her hands, sighing.

(Uh... Anella made you?) "What?" Raythor said. "Come on, stupid, we all care about what happens to you." Rose said. "Come here?" "Why?" "Just come here." She said. He walked over grudgingly. She took hold of his wrist, twisting his arm over so the palms faced upward. She pushed back his sleeve, looking at the scars and managing not to wince. Raythor felt a little sick, seeing them again. "They're just white lines." "You don't mean that." "Yes I do. If I absolutely had to marry you, I wouldn't mind... wouldn't mind seeing them. Really." "You don't have to try and make me feel better."

(Oh Shit) Anella looked around, not sure what to do. She couldn't go back, she knew that much. Maybe if she just went close enough to hear whatever they were talking about....she stood up slowly.

(It happens on crazy road.) "Do you think I would try to make you feel better?" Rose said. "Hardly." "Then I guess I'll have to marry you, because no one else will want to. Sadly you hate me." Raythor said. He shoved his sleeve down a little viciously. She took his hands, taking his gloves. He shuddered involuntarily. "See? That's almost pretty." Rose said. She traced the scar on his right hand. "It's like a crescent moon."

( God damnit.) Anella walked untill she could hear them talking. She stood still behind a tree, feeling slightly silly, but there was no way she was going back out there.

( <3 ) "Well good for me." Raythor said. Rose scowled at him. "You know what, if I was your wife I would think of these as my scars." She said. "I would think 'my husband's so brave, he went out and got all of these risking his life for everyone else.' I would count them, and know where they were and I'd love to touch them." "Sure you would." "I would, really." Rose said. She traced the scars on the very end of his wrist with her finger. "And your wife is going to think that too." "I'm not going to have a wife." "What if you fall in love, huh?"

Anella listened silently, thinking. She wondered where all those scars really did come from. They probably were from protecting other people, he was so stupidly brave. She bit her lip, not sure why the sides of her eyes were suddenly burning.

"She wouldn't love me back." Raythor said. He added, much more quietly: "She doesn't love me back..." "Raythor..." Rose said. She hugged him. Hesisitantly, he hugged her back. She pulled away. "Here are your gloves back. But you have beautiful hands, you really do. And beautiful scars."

Anella put her hand over her mouth, wondering where this sudden rush of emotion was coming from. She could barely hear what either of them was saying. She smiled a little, realizing how mad Rose would be if she knew she had heard her being nice to Raythor.

Rose held him out at arms length, stuying him critically. "You're... you're very handsome Raythor. There, aren't you happy?" "I'm ecstatic." Raythor said. "I really enjoy it when people lie to me." "I'm not lying." Rose said. "No go away somewhere before I start to cry. Being nice to you isn't good for me." "All right." He said. He picked a random direction and started walking. He stopped, looking back. "Rose?" "Raythor?" "Thank you." He left.

Anella breathed out, perhaps a bit too loudly. She glanced around the edge of the tree, trying to spot weather it was safe to come out yet.

Rose started, squinting at where the sound had come from. She shrugged, putting her hands on her hips and trying to figure out what to do next. She still felt weird, especially after feeling Raythor's skin against hers. She shivered.
