What now, Fáinu, what now? Cree wished only to be with you, and you push her away.
I remember Cree, but she has changed. We both have. Since the day the dragon came, nothing has been the same.
You are a fool! Why do you not tell her you still feel for her?
Time will show us all what is to come. I cannot just say what it is she wants to hear, it would make matters worse.
A Time will come, when you will eat you words. See, now you have scared her physically and emotionally, are you satisfied?
Get thee gone, foul thought. Thou knows nought of this matter.
Fáinu went back to the stables. Cree was not there, and her horse was. He knew she must be in the inn. He wanted to go back, but did not think it time. He mounted his horse and rode off.
