Nigel looks at Arlia for a few moments, thinking she was hiding something. However, not wanting to ruin the moment, he pushes the suspicions away. Feeling her fingers against his hand, Nigel flips his hand around and lets his fingers curl around her hand. "I know," he whispers. "I wish we could stay together for at least a little while longer..." After thinking for a few moments, he turns to Arlia and says, "I'd never ask this of you, but I'd be willing to risk staying with you for a while longer, yet...I don't know what we'd do, but at least we'd be together."
