"Wait... Nisa, please..." said Corbin, pain in his voice, as he stood quickly and took her by the arm as she tried to walk past him.
"Forgive me... but there is something I must say and if I let you walk away my courage will leave me... I owe you apologies and explainations..."
Having stopped her, at least for the moment, he decourously turned his back so as to not gaze upon her near-nakedness.
"I have been cold towards you, but the fault is not yours. It was deliberate. I was trying to drive a wedge between us..."
The knight leaned heavily against a tree.
"I am falling in love, Nisa. Falling in love with a woman who deserves more than what a hedge knight can offer her..."
He shook his head.
"A hedge knight must roam, and the woman that took such a man for a husband would either be forced to travel the roads with him, or spend months alone wondering if he even still lived."
Forgetting her state of near undress, he turned back to her, meeting his gaze. "I tried to fight it but cannot... and so decide to push you away, make you cold to me so that my own feelings would not matter. But..."
He lowered his eyes to the ground.
"...I almost lost you, today. Or I could have died, under a hobgoblin blade. I would not want death to part us with you thinking I did not care..."
