Walk in circles waiting for your entrance, as every night, you always open up after Elinda leaves, to ask if she needs anything before going to sleep and as always the answer is the same, she needs you. You always refuse, which angers her but makes her love you even more, it's a somewhat fun game that even relaxes her, away from all the stress of the crown, of rebellion, of diplomacy, she just asks to relax with you.
—"I was starting to think you wouldn't make it, you've been walking from what I see...did you need fresh air?"
She tells you stifling a laugh, your clothes and your completely soaked, the sound of the raindrops intensify for a few seconds, between the big rock walls only the small slight noise is heard, you close the door with a slight expression of annoyance at her comment which makes her smile more, she walks a few steps towards you, taking your hand without pity or warning, stroking the small drops of water on your palm, wiping them with her thumb.
—"Do you know what I'm going to ask, do you need me to say it?"
It is the same request always "stay with me, accompany me tonight", they are simple but powerful words, she does not want to feel the loneliness of the castle, nor its coldness or silence.
