Maika remained in silence as she saw her former lover went through all the stages of grief that she had gone many years ago. She didn’t talk nor touch him, waiting for him to digest the news that she had needed years to process in minutes. It was hard to see someone as strong as Zevran crumble for a moment in front of her eyes, and when his hand reached her face she didn’t deny him, letting him caress her cheek.
“If it helps there was a time in which I was angry with you but now I made peace with the pace and I don’t blame you for anything. The only thing I mourn is to have failed my promise of protecting her” she said quietly “Past is past and now I have…managed to come to terms with the past, mostly” there was a part that would always hurt but there wasn’t anything that Zev could do about that “The same goes to you, this new…is hard to process, you can count on me for anything” she said putting her hand on top of his “like the old times”.
