Dark nodded his response. He felt her shivering. Not surprising, since the water was cool and the air cooler still. Deciding not to shake her dry, Dark instead held her close and began walking back to the valley.

"D..Dark..I love you..."
She yawned, leaning into him and kissing his chest.

"I know."
Dark continued to walk, his face an emotionless mask covering the turmoil within his soul. As they walked, his body began to grow warmer. The warmth spread to Ilia.

She smiled, cuddling into him. She felt as if he hated her.
"Why do you not love me?"

Dark continued to walk.
"Why do you think that I don't love you?"

"You treat me..so kind, yet your words pierce into my heart like a sword."

Dark was confused.
"My words? I have never spoken to you cruelly."

Dark grimaced.
"I still do not know if I am capable of love. I care for you a great deal, more then I knew I could. But it feels wrong to speak of love for me right now. I am sorry that hurts you."

She pushed from him, falling to the ground and getting up. She turned from him. She wondered if Ember had anything to do with this.

Dark stood there in silence, not moving to pick her up again. She seemed upset, even angry. Things had been going well at first that night. His words had been enough for her. Now, after the death of her wolf, she seemed to need more.
Dark's heart felt torn. He wanted to comfort her, but he did not want to lie to her. Was he not enough for her? Was his heart too small? Was his soul too dark? He continued to wait, not daring to speak.

She began to laugh. Her giggles broke the silence as she covered her mouth, still giggling.

Dark raised an eyebrow warily. Was Ilia suddenly happy now, or had she cracked?
"...Ilia?"

She had cracked. Everything was going wrong in her life.

Dark tried to hold himself together. It was not easy to do. He could almost feel madness creeping from Ilia.
