Only if she didn't tell him now, ..she might not be able to later. Either because she kept delaying it to the last minute or..they'd be interrupted. "No, I ..have to tell you now. Or I never will." She didn't try to pull her hand away again this time though.
She faced him with a slow breath, studying his face for a long moment, resisting the urge to reach out with a free hand. Where did she even begin? HOw did she even say it? She'd.. give him the short version. She didn't think she could handle the longer version.
"Every night I have the same dream. An all consuming darkness that ends the world." She looked down at his hand, "..Like my thorns. ...that's why I need the cores from the other Lords. To create the Renas Alma...I can destroy that darkness and protect..." She paused. "...but as a result, ...I'll die. That's... that's why I said we won't..we can't.." be together. Travel together is what she wants to say, but..
