"I could... sort of tell that. But you'd asked me to stay away during the nights, so I did. It wasn't easy."

"I'm... sorry you had to feel that. I know it must have seemed... crude." She hangs her shaggy head.

Wanda stops and reaches up to touch Isolde's cheek, "No, I meant it wasn't easy to stay away. I knew you needed me... and not just like that. But... I'm worried about what this bond means for you. Once you said you don't think you can refuse me and I still worry about that."
