"Would she really tell you? You do not look so certain of that. Perhaps you should ask her? Ah, but it hardly matters now. You can't get too mad at her about it, right? After all, we were just about to enjoy ourselves."
The words echoed through his head as Val sat in his room, staring at the random articles of clothing that lay scattered about the floor. He recalled it as if it were yesterday, the raven-haired, dark-skinned Keeper lying nude in his bed.
"Afraid you're going to enjoy yourself for once? Or are you afraid she's going to scold you? Yes, my master will certainly be displeased, too. But why should they not let us have our fun? You and I, we are very much alike... and so are they. A match made for each other. Should we not enjoy true pleasure together, and leave those two snobs to each other? They deserve each other... why, just a couple days ago, they nearly had each other... But she probably did not tell you that, did she? Who knows how long this affair of theirs has been happening... Do you have any idea what your lover does in her office?"
He didn't. Often times, the Seeker was with her, but when he had to go assist one of his soldiers or take care of business elsewhere, she was left alone. The voidsent woman had seen the expression of shock, confusion, and betrayal on his face and only sought to taunt him further.
"Because I wanted to accomplish something. Maybe I wanted to do you a favor? There is no such thing as love, no such thing as happiness. While you two parade around with smiles, you are only deceiving yourselves, living a delusion. I opened your eyes. You can thank me later. But for now... my job here is done."Â
And just like that she was gone, swallowed by the shadows that covered the bedroom. It had taken Val some time to gather himself amidst the uncontrollable rage and shaking. Part of him believed what the woman had said. He'd never thought 'love' to be anything other than a silly emotion that those with their head too high in the clouds believed in. It kept him from doing anything he really wanted. It often times made him feel like a caged animal, and the woman's revelation suddenly made him realize that he had been a fool all this time.
The Seeker stood and clothed himself as quickly as his shaking, fumbling fingers would allow. He settled for a pair of jeans and wrapped a blue robe about his upper half, then made his way outside. It would be a long walk to their Company house, but he needed the time to think before he confronted her about the information he'd been given.
