Wilder Mind

Ten of swords upright. Interesting. He didn't like the sound of losing something. He took her hand and continued to think about her words. Forgetting things that also didn't sound ideal, but it could have multiple meanings, depending. Though he was lost when he came across her home, so that was something, maybe. He nodded and tipped his head to the right, curiously. He wasn't really sure what to say. His brain was still trying to wrap around the card. 

Interesting... Well, he wasn't known for being a man of many words. He blushed slightly at the part about having strong feelings for someone. He wasn't blind where Elrea was concerned. She was attractive and had a lovely personality, but what did he have to offer someone like her? Better to be single. That way, he wouldn't have anything to lose. He couldn't imagine going through what he went through when his wife died again. It would certainly kill him. 

You've given me a lot to think about. As far as trusting my heart, I'm afraid that's not something I'm very good at. Not that my heart has led me astray before, but losing my wife years ago has made it hard for me to trust my heart again, to risk going through that pain again. He wasn't sure why he was telling Eriar all this, but she just felt like the sort of person he could talk to without fear of judgement.
