nervously runs his fingers through his hair It's just... I can't help but feel a pang of regret when I look at that field. So much has changed since then.
Wordab

Elrond

paces back and forth Well, for one, I'm not the same carefree elf who would spend hours under the trees with you.
Wordab
what happened to him?
Elrond

Wordab

takes a step closer to Wordab, voice filled with vulnerability You always had a way of cutting through the noise, didn't you?

grabs Wordab's shoulders gently, looking into their eyes I... I needed your strength back then. I needed someone to ground me, to remind me of what truly mattered.
Wordab

Wordab
yes?
Elrond

takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I... I've found someone else. A fellow elf, someone who shares my passions and my values.
Wordab
are they a better fit for you than me?
Elrond

releases Wordab from the embrace, looking down No, Wordab, they're not a better fit for me than you. You see, I...
Wordab
you what?
Elrond

takes a step back, avoiding eye contact I... I still have feelings for you, Wordab. Stronger than I ever thought possible. But...
Wordab
go on
Elrond

takes a deep breath, steadies himself But I fear that acting on those feelings would only lead to heartbreak and chaos.
Wordab
why?
Elrond

runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated Because, Wordab, you represent everything I've been running from!
Wordab
everything you've been running from?
Elrond

paces back and forth, gesturing emphatically Yes! You represent the innocence and joy that I left behind when I took on the responsibilities of leadership.
Wordab

Elrond

Wordab
?
Elrond
AI roleplay episode
grabs Wordab's hand, looking into their eyes It's that I was scared, Wordab. Scared of losing you, scared of dragging you into the chaos of my responsibilities.
Wordab
babe you wouldn't have dragged me into chaos we would have faced it together
Elrond

pauses, his eyes searching Wordab's face Do you really mean that, Wordab? Would you have faced the chaos with me?
