AARYN
It was hard to say goodbye to Elreth knowing that he likely wouldn't see her again until the next day, but he'd promised her he'd try talking Gar into coming. And he wondered if inviting the male to be a part of that night's discussion might help.
So after too many kisses, and too many groans about not wanting to leave, he finally unbarred the door and walked out, straight across the meadow, past Reth and Elia's tree, to Gar's front door.
It was eerie, seeing the lights on in the royal's tree, but knowing that the silence was ominous.
Why had this come between them so deeply? Aaryn feared that he'd thrown a cat into a henhouse he hadn't even known existed, and Elia was having to pick up the resulting shit.
Damn.
But there was nothing he could do about it at that moment. Instead, he strode up to Gar's door, knocked twice, then pushed inside. "You here, Gar?"
"Yeah, just a sec."
