So why did you not tell her?
"I guess … it was because I was afraid, Krako."
Afraid of what?
"I'm afraid, Vinta, of what it could mean for both of us if I take the next step." Aldrec replied to the melodious chimes. "Already I see the signs of the prophecy fulfilling; I'm no longer uncertain, so why didn't I do it?"
You have said it, friend. You were afraid.
"Yes, but I shouldn't be, Gabelle!" Aldrec fumed. "This isn't something I should fear!"
Then don't fear it.
"That's easy for you to say, Krako. You've never seen the way her eyes light up when we talk about an interesting subject, or how deeply she blushes when we're close … or even the look of how her hair just brushes her shoulder when we talk."
We see these things in your heart. You burn for her. And she desires you.
It seems as though the pursuit is complete. The thing has taken its course. It must now be fulfilled.
"The pursuit ended the moment I saw her," Aldrec said. "I know what I need to do … Divine knows I do."
Then there is no conflict. Do what you must.
"I'll do it tomorrow," Aldrec said after a long moment of uncertain thought. "But first, I need to relax. I need to get my mind cleared. I've waited too long."
It is good that you have decided, friend.
"I'm glad that I have too, Vinta. I only pray that I can see it through."
