>>18274003(OOC: This is a continuation of a dramatic scene that happened BEFORE the current show, and Colby's recent IC promo. Just didn't want to drop this. As always, remember, time is all twisted and turned around in the WWA universe.)
(This is also 100% drama romance stuff. You are hereby warned.)
Colby holds Amy close to herself.
>"No, I'm not leaving you. Absolutely not. I love you, Amelia."She holds her for a second, choosing her next words carefully.
>"But you're blaming yourself for all this. And it's not your fault. I know it's not that simple, as just making telling yourself that, but I want you to believe me when I tell you that's how I feel. You tried so hard to make this a wonderful time for me. And one awful person came along and attacked what you had done. Attacked you. That's not your fault."Colby takes a deep breath and holds Amy tightly.
>"But I never want to see you on the dungeon floor again. Priscilla didn't want that either. The last thing you deserve is to be punished. But even if you did, I'd fight with everything I had not to let it happen. I'd make sure you weren't in that situation, or if I failed, there'd be two of us there together on that dungeon floor, and I'd hold onto you until they pried me off.">"Any time you devalue yourself like that, or put yourself in a situation to be hurt because you think you deserve it, it hurts me too, because I love you and I want better for you than that."Colby lightly strokes Amy's hair, then pulls back and looks down at her with a fond smile and wet eyes.
>"Stay with me, Amelia. We've got a lot of happy days ahead of us that she's NOT gonna be able to mess up for us."
