[Tieria's reaction was surprisingly vehement, and a little confusing - was the idea so distasteful? Still, it was a small comfort that there was at least a possibility of forgiveness - one that Lockon wasn't sure, at this point, that he deserved, but was grateful for. Still, the reaction was unexpected. Obviously he hadn't wanted Tieria's hate, but...

He'd stepped forward almost on instinct when Tieria span away, but had reigned himself in. He looked at Tieria's back and smiled again, a little hopeless smile.]

Unless you're about to go all parental and say you're not angry, just disappointed, I guess I don't.

[Not that he really thought that was it, he would be really surprised if Tieria wasn't even a little angry.]
