She watched as the thoughts and memories ran through his mind. It would never be an easy thing to do, and was something that Elza often ran from doing. To her, dipping into her memories often brought up such an intense feeling within that she could never contain it, which was why she hid from those memories instead. It had always been Kelley and Clive before she'd arrived, and had continued to be just that after she had been taken in. They had both taken her hands and pulled her into their fold, but even despite that, it had always been the two of them. Yes they had loved and cared for her, but there had always been that unspoken bond between them that she could never find herself in there with.
It was fine, and there were some parts of her that wished that she had been born in the Guild also, but Elza was no fool and knew that she could never change her past.
She lightly pressed her head up towards her travelling fingers, finding comfort in the gesture as he opened up to her. It was such a rare gesture that she treasured it whenever it occurred, and it left her without all of her methods of protection as she saw how miserable he was without Kelley, without what they all once had.
"He was your brother. Nothing would ever change that or the feelings that you both held for each other - the feelings we all had for each other," she quietly murmured while her fingers gentle brushed back and forth over the spot just behind his ear. "My first family sold me into slavery when they were short on funds, sold me to the Guild where I was found by those who I had loved and cared for just as much as my Mother and Father, and yet they had never thrown me away. Those two foolish boys had taken me in and loved me more than my own flesh and blood ever could, so don't tell me that you cannot understand it."
At his confession, she pushed her head up from the ground to press her forehead against his own. Feeling the warmth of his heat, Elza closed her eyes as she relished the weight of his body and presence all around her. "I hold so many regrets... so many... but most of all I have regretted what I did to the two stupid boys I loved more than anything."
