( it's almost unbearably sweet โย of course tristan would think that, because he doesn't know, because isolde hasn't let him know. what they've shared in their talks, why isolde understands tristan when he wonders if his mom would've like the man that he became. because he's capable of pain, of killing, the same as isolde. because she's a soldier in god's holy war, because she'd do anything in his name, including marry mark trevena. )
[And Mark. At least, that's what he's spent the past few months trying to convince himself. Their happiness matters more to him than his own. So if there's a way he can give them that, he'll do whatever it takes.]
I'll be ok, Isolde. You don't need to worry about me.
[That warm feeling in his chest springs back with a vengeance at her words. He really must have done something amazing in a past life to ever find himself the focus of Isolde's attentions.]
I sent him a message asking him to meet me at my room tonight. Maybe you should be there too?
