*Zahrah turned her head to look at him.* "Just... hold me..." *She sighed, laying her head down on his shoulder...*

Taurendil wrapped his arms around her, holding her gently as she leaned against him.

*Zahrah relaxed a little against him, trying to calm her turbulent thoughts.* "I wish things had been different, Taurendil... for your sake... I wish I could've lived a proper life and been a suitable companion for you... but I can't change anything..."

"Suitable - Zahrah, don't you understand? I don't care about whether or not you're 'suitable' for me. I want you to be with me anyways."

*Zahrah just shook her head a little...* "I don't know what to do... I don't want you sacrificing anything more for my sake..."

"How do you know that I won't embarass you or get you into trouble? Think about it... You could find a beautiful, innocent woman in Cormyr who comes from a respected family... You could marry her, have a normal family with her... She'd be loyal to you and obedient as men want their wives to be, and you'd have a warm and hospitable home for everyone who came to visit... You could have a calm, safe, respectable life... But what could you possibly have with me?"

Taurendil grinned. "A life worth living... you don't think my only reason for joining the army and the crusade was because it was the right thing to do, do you?"

"You once tried to convince me it was..." *Zahrah lifted her head a little to look at him.*

Taurendil shrugged. "Yeah, we joined up because it was the right thing to do. But we were all looking forwards to the excitement as well. The thrill of adventure, of fighting for our lives." He shook his head. "Really stupid reason to go join a crusade, isn't it?"

"Not something I would have done, given the fact that my best strategy in battle is running... but I can understand why you did it..."

"I've never been the kind of person to want a safe life... I've always been drawn to danger and excitement."

"Well that's something I've never lacked... but someday you won't want that anymore... you'll want to settle down just like everyone else does..."

"Oh, undoubtedly. But when that day comes, well, I want you to be the one I settle down with."

*Zahrah sighed softly, although she couldn't help but be pleased with the idea despite her worries.* "I'm never going to convince you that you're better off without me, am I?"
