His smile grew even wider as she accepted.This was his first smile,his first true,sincere smile in so long.He knew that he had no chance to be with her as she would have to give up her immortality to be with him.He then remembered where he had received the necklace and his smile faded.
"My mother gave it to me...She told me to promise her that I wouldn't come back and save her after I escaped from the orc raid that killed my parents..."
At this moment you'd expect him to cry,but he was so used to it that no tears came upon his withered face.He sighed and smiled weakly.He thought for a moment and decided.
"I think I can have another drink."
