( isolde would love to be contrary the way that elias insists on it, but ultimately βΒ she has no choice but to believe what he's saying. what is the opposite option? think elias is mad that she has a mark, her own personal sword of damocles hanging over her head? )
okay. good. he doesn't know those things about me that you saw. you're the only one who knows that.
( she's not sure if it's a warning or an olive branch βΒ don't tell him (isolde would never assume he would) or see the differences between you two (that you know something i never would've told you on my own). every truth comes with barbs and cushions depending on how you look at it, is the fact of the matter. the other fact: mark has never stayed up late to play scrabble with isolde because she's too afraid of falling asleep. only one person has ever done that. )
[it's βΒ warming, to have a secret saved for him. one small facet of isolde reserved in his corner. selfish to feel anything by her confession, impossible for him not to, elias has a leg up on everybody else at last (when it comes to her).]
