His question came, curiously poking into what she was saying, trying to find out her intentions. She enjoyed the fact he at least wasn't being rude to her in this instance or getting offended at what she was saying. She didn't want to fight again, but the inquiry as to why she was trying to separate the two types of emotions for him was something she was going to be careful with. She wasn't nervous, nor was she going to lie, but she just wanted to speak from a correct perspective according to her.

"Remember when I told you that us Benshira are not allowed to be romantically involved with outsiders of our people? It's been pushed into my mind that it was not okay, but you were so caring for me, I had been disowned and I had to realize, I am no longer Benshira in the Benshira's eyes. Then you were having difficulties understanding the differences between my past culture and my god, so I had to really evaluate what was deemed a law by Yahal, and what was cultural. There never was a law put down by Yahal saying that I cannot marry you nor love you romantically, so that made it easier, but yeah, at first, I was trying to stay true to what I knew and was trying not to draw too close to you because of our different cultures."
