Enough was enough was enough. Who knew a broken heart could continue break over and over again anew, each time with a searing pain that blinded his good sense? Who knew that seeing her through the iron bars of his cell would tighten the hold of his humility in a vice grip? Who knew that even after he was released and back to his life that he would feel near constant nausea at the mere thought of her?
Who indeed.
He'd faced the evils of this world with a chivalrous bravado but, as it turned out, he could no longer face this. Such was his motivation in his current venture. Such was his calling in of his favor to the Witch of the Wilds herself. An act which he was now questioning the intelligence of given the timing. But then there never seemed to be a good time for this favor, of all the favors he might ask of her. So he waited until the sun had set and patrols were changing to approach her quarters. He knocked softly, fist folding behind his back with the other as he waited reverently.
