Eliezer had not expected Raven to arrive so soon, but he was glad that she did, and that she had even accepted the invitation in the first place. He had been under the impression that he had caused her too much frustration for her to concern herself with him again. Despite her tendency to bring up unfamiliar topics which would stay in his mind baffling him for a substantial amount of time, being with her, for some unexplainable reason, seemed to put him at ease. After being notified of his lady's arrival, he promptly made his way down to meet her.

He gave a polite nod as he approached her, before taking her hand and lightly kissing the back of it. "It is lovely to see you again, my lady."

He then signaled for the guards to leave them, and brought her outdoors and around the palace to a quiet garden area that was warmed and lit by the rays of the morning Sun. The bright, kempt greenery was adorned with small flowers of various colors, and the occasional chirping bird that fluttered by brought the place to life. As they leisurely strolled though the perfectly-trimmed shrubbery, Eliezer took a moment to let her appreciate their surroundings in silence before letting her in on what was on his mind.

"The night before, you asked me this question - what is it that I truly desire? Unfortunately, I don't yet have an answer for you. The difficulty I experience is not in identifying my desires, but in pondering over the question itself. You see, I have a responsibility to Dainia. The people of the kingdom depend on the competence of the royal family. What I fear, is going through the internal conflict that may be stirred by the thoughts of my desires. Considering what I am obligated to do, I do not believe I can afford to have such feelings. With that being said, I do not expect you to empathize with me."

He struggled to find a way to relate to her before continuing, hoping that he would successfully do so. "For the longest time, this garden has been my sanctuary. This is the place where I find peace and rejuvenate my mind when I am weary. Simply being here calms and comforts me, and lifts my spirits. The reason I have decided to share it with you today, is that it is something I find wonderful, something that has left such a positive impression on me. Perhaps you feel the same about this happiness, and this love that you have spoken of, which is why you wish to share it with me."

Eliezer then stopped and turned to face her. "I clearly recall the intense sadness you had expressed the night before as you made known to me the things that are important to you. Was that sadness for my ignorance? Is it so devastating to you that I do not understand such things? Tell me, my lady, do you still believe that they are worth pursuing, in spite of the consequences that may follow because of who I am?"
