The guild members alternated in offering their advice, and though Vivian felt that they should stay out of it, Sylvia wanted to give Nero a piece of her mind. [color=bc8dbf]"Sir Nero, the uncomfortable truth is that death comes for us all, whether you are a soldier or a farmer. Should a man deny a woman his love just because he knows he is going to die? And as painful as it might seem, the loss of a loved one does not outweigh the precious time spent together. If you did not love her back, then that is something Miss Kikimora will have to come to terms with. But if you do love her back, and you've warned her to not love you because you worry for your own life, yet she continues to pledge her love to you anyways, then you have no reason not to reciprocate, because the pain you fear that your death will cause her is something she has already determined that she is willing to endure."[/color] She tried to speak gently, but logically. Despite the inevitability of death, not all mortals were prepared for their own mortality, nor that of their loved ones. If anything, by already considering it, Nero and Rayya were ahead of the curve. But just because you weren't a soldier didn't mean that you couldn't die one day after getting married leaving your spouse a widow or widower.
