Only The Strong Survive

Charity
Charity managed a small giggle. "Welcome to the club."

Ahanu
He was still going through everything she had first said. "I know you don't like me bringing this up, but I seriously think you should talk to Auberon. If you guys try to make amends maybe your relationship with him will get better." 

Charity
Charity didn't really say anything to that, but she considered the idea for a moment.

Ahanu
"Also, um, if you still are going to leave, let me know before you go so I don't wake up one day and you're just gone. I would panic." 

Charity
"I'm not going anywhere if you aren't going too," she mumbled. "I won't leave."

Ahanu
"That... is a huge relief." 

Charity
Charity smiled, closing her eyes but still crying slightly.

Ahanu
He had said what was currently on his mind, so he just sat there quietly to let her cry. 

Charity
It felt good to cry, but knowing that someone was there and cared made it significantly better. Charity was grateful for it, though she doubted she deserved it.

Ahanu
"Thanks for teaching me how to ride, by the way."

Charity
"My pleasure," she murmured.

Ahanu
"Is there anything else you want to do while we're in town?"

Charity
"No... but if you wanted to do something then we can," she replied quietly.

Ahanu
"Nothing I want to do. Have you named your horse yet?"

Charity
Charity shook her head as best as she could, then rested the side of her head on his shoulder and placing her forehead against his neck. "I was hoping there might be names on the halters, or maybe on the stall doors to get a general idea."
