Jaakuna didn’t want to say it. He had been running from his brother, his family, and his home for so long. He loved them all, but how could he possibly explain? He killed his own father and it wasn’t cause he didn’t get the throne? That was something he couldn’t admit to anyone, and yet, he almost felt compelled to blurt it out to Nadeline, to Emiri, and in some aspects, to himself. He had dealt with it within himself for the most part, but now as he argues with this woman, he finds himself overtaken by grief and regret. Even now, as she says these harsh words, Jaakuna finds himself in a place where he can’t cope, but he must hide that part at least.

When he heard Nadeline speak, he lost it. He lost it so much that he rushed over in a fast, angry walk to Nadeline, picked her up by her clothes and pinning placing her against the wall. [b]“First, do NOT confuse my lack of caring for the empires for my feelings for Emiri. Her I love, the empires, I do NOT. “[/b] Jaakuna said, revealing a rather stunning truth that he didn’t want to admit, at least not until he was ready, but it just sort of came out. As soon as he realized this, Jaakuna let Nadeline go gently. [b]“I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that to you. I don’t know what came over me.”[/b] Jaakuna said as he walked to the door of the cell, just looking at it. 

In some weird metaphorical way, the cell seemed to be fitting for him as this is how Jaakuna has been living — feeling, for the past three years. Ever since the death of his father, he felt like he belonged in a cell and he knew that eventually he would be in one. [b]“You know, it’s funny. “[/b] Jaakuna said smiling, turning to Emiri and Nadeline’s direction. [b]“I did something — something bad, and I knew that eventually it would land me in a cell like this one..or worse. But, to be found out for trespassing is truly amusing. I just wonder how bad it would be if I were found out for murder..” [/b]Jaakuna stopped there. He couldn’t even bring himself to say it, let alone tell the two ladies about it. At least, not yet. He needed time to..well he doesn’t know what he needs time for, but he just knows right now isn’t the right time or place to do it.
