"I was never a lonely girl but he did make me feel more complete from the day I got him." Not the easiest thing in the world to explain, but even if she'd wanted to, the atmosphere in the room is changing, and it wouldn't take someone as good as her to notice, and she moves with it.
"Korrin…" Suddenly it's hard to breathe, not like First Day when relief at seeing Korrin as the woman accepted her when she finally revealed the truth about her life at home had her sobbing and holding tight, her heart leaping the way it does when she races across the rooftops of home in the dead of night when they're slick with rain, with only the light of the moon and stars for her guide. She can't look away, her smile nervous but bright as she sits up straighter, watching Korrin intently. "Is that-"
Her smile is softer, one small hand - the left one, marked, the silverite mermaid band hanging from it - reaching for Korrin's wrist to steady herself, her eyes pricking with tears that she already knows won't fall. "I never thought I could ever be happy, being here in Thedas," she admits because she should, even if she had planned to give a gift of her own with this speech but well, time and tide wait for no man or woman in this case. "But you make me happy here Korrin Ataash. You bring me so much joy, no matter how dark the times have been, I do not know where I would be without you. I know we can't know our future here but...but I will never regret an instant of this, that I cherish every second we have together."
It's quite possible that outside of rather more strenuous activities, her cheeks have never been hotter inside a bedroom before, and a laugh almost escapes her, something to ease the tension now that she can hardly breathe.
