Elise could see the surprise at her visit, and she felt an odd sense of satisfaction knowing that he had not expected her. Apparently, it didn’t seem like he even wanted her visit as she caught the frown upon his face, she waited for him to spit something out spitefully, but she was surprised to see that didn’t happen. Watching the brief exchange, she was certain that he was unaware of her visit and this was Manawyndan orchestrating this so perhaps she could do something a little more daring than she had originally intended. After all Elise was not planning to just bend to his whims, he had been the one to cause the damage between them. 

[color=00aeef][b]“Thank you.”[/b][/color] Speaking curtly as she took a seat trying not to hear it as an order because she hated the idea of being ordered around by him like some inferior being. 

Folding her hands neatly on the table she met his gaze holding it for a minute letting the silence fall between them for a moment before she finally broke it speaking up. [color=00aeef][b]“I’ll be frank, our last interaction didn’t go the way I had expected and I’m sure you can agree with that.”[/b][/color] Tapping her fingers against the wood it was as clear as day to see she was still the same stubborn woman from before, but this time she had more information to play with. 

[color=00aeef][b]“I have had time to consider my own options, what would be best and perhaps I had been a little hasty with my words. I know I’m quite defensive when backed into a corner.”[/b][/color] Flicking her gaze up back to him the fire in her eyes could be seen as she spoke, confident as always even if she had to hide the bubbling fear that he would wrap his hands around her throat once again. Taking a deep breath, she folded her arms to stop herself from tapping, the fiddling did provide a good distraction, but she needed to be focused right now and not appear to be some weak child in his eyes. 

[color=00aeef][i]I can do this; he should apologise to me after all. I would not have refused to marry if he hadn’t been a brute. For that matter he laid hands on me. [/i][/color]

[color=00aeef][b]“I’ll marry you, but on [i]one[/i] condition.” [/b][/color]

Taking a moment with her pause of words she watched him letting her sentence settle for a moment, that she was willing to marry on one condition. After all Elise was not about to let herself get walked on whilst here, her offer would be more than fair in her eyes, but she did doubt if he would actually agree to it. 

[color=00aeef][b]“You have to apologise to me, for what you did in that room and it has to be sincere. If I feel it’s sincere then we can resume as normal.”[/b][/color]
