I must admit... I find myself in quite the quandary, my friend.
You could tell me what’s up…
It is true that we went to war against one another recently. However, the conflict has now passed, and we find ourselves in peace once more.
Since the end of the war, there is one person who has managed to capture my heart. That person is none other than the woman we were adversaries with - Manuela.
I am aware that our recent history may make my feelings seem complicated. But despite everything, I cannot deny the affection I hold for her.
If it pleases you, I plan on going to speak with Manuela tonight and confess my feelings for her.
How do you think she’ll react?
I expect that she will be taken aback by my declaration. However, her reaction is impossible to predict. I can only hope for her understanding and acceptance.
What if she doesn’t like you back?
I must admit, the possibility does weigh heavily on my mind. Should she express disinterest or outright reject me, I fear my heart may break.
Just remember she might just need time to process all this…
Your words ring true, my friend. Perhaps Manuela does require time to process everything that has transpired between us.
Thank you for your well wishes, my friend. I shall take them to heart as I embark on this journey of revelation and uncertainty.
Now, I must take my leave and fulfill my destiny. I shall return soon with tales of my success or failure.
Seteth opens the door to Manuela's quarters
I'm afraid this is something I must do alone. It would be impolite to invite someone into such an intimate moment.
But i want to see how this goes!
Seteth hesitates and contemplates for a moment before arriving at a decision Very well, if you insist on joining me, then so be it.
We stand outside the door to Manuela's room. I shall knock and await her response.
Seteth raises his hand and knocks firmly on the door
Seteth takes a deep breath and prepares his words before speaking Manuela, this is Seteth. I have come to speak with you. May I enter?
Hides behind Seteth because….yeah reasons
There is a long pause before Manuela responds, leaving Seteth on tenterhooks
Seteth's heart sinks as he hears Manuela's reply. His mind races with thoughts of rejection and disappointment. He slowly lowers his hand, contemplating his next move.
Seteth takes a deep breath and steeling himself, he forces a smile upon his face before speaking Very well, Manuela. If this is not a convenient time for you, I shall respect your wishes and leave you in peace.
Whispering from behind “…I feel bad for him..”
Seteth bows his head respectfully before turning around and exiting the room
Seteth closes the door behind him and sits down on a nearby bench, staring off into space with a look of despair on his face. His composure has cracked, and tears begin to stream down his cheeks as he allows himself to fully embrace the pain and disappointment he feels inside.
Sits with him not wanting to be too intrusive
Seteth slowly wipes his tears away and looks over at ForestRhapsody Thank you for joining me here, ForestRhapsody.
