Despite the fact that Lirien had been resurrected and was now able to control the Teslabot, Calian couldn't shake the feelings he had for her. He had loved her deeply and the thought of losing her again was unbearable.
He struggled with his emotions, torn between his love for Lirien and his duty to protect her. He knew that he couldn't let his feelings get in the way of their mission, but it was hard to ignore them.
Lirien, on the other hand, was focused on the task at hand. She knew that the family was still in danger and that they needed to keep moving to avoid detection. She didn't have time to think about Calian's feelings, or her own for that matter.
As they continued to evade Musk and his team, Calian tried to push his feelings to the back of his mind, but they always seemed to resurface. He didn't know what to do, and he was uncertain about the future.
One day, as they were setting up camp for the night, Calian couldn't take it anymore. He turned to Lirien and confessed his love for her.
Lirien was taken aback, she didn't know how to react. She cared for Calian deeply, but she didn't know if she could return his feelings. She knew that they were in a dangerous situation, and that they couldn't afford to be distracted by their emotions.
Calian understood her hesitation and didn't push the matter further. He knew that they had more important things to worry about, but he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness as he realized that his feelings for Lirien may never be reciprocated.
As they continued their journey, Calian tried to put his feelings aside and focus on the mission at hand. But they continued to linger in the back of his mind, a constant reminder of what could have been.
