Ailuin frowned, shaking his head quickly as he hugged her close. "No, Aub, I'm not calling you selfish, not in a million years. If anything I'm selfish for wanting to stay here and skip breakfast and the ceremony all together. I didn't mean to make you think that's what I thought of you. I just figured giving you an easy first decision as Queen might make the harder ones a bit easier and less awful." He murmured, gently brushing his fingers through her hair. "Duly noted about me being nakedn distracting you, though." He teased softly, offering her a small smile in the hopes he hadn't pissed her off too badly.
Bridris sat back a bit to look at him while he spoke, fresh tears welling in her eyes and running down her cheeks as she listened to his offer, chin trembling as she gripped his shirt a bit tighter. After a moment she reached up to rest her hand against his cheek, gently brushing her fingers against his skin in an attempt to soothe him. "But you'd remember, and you'd be miserable.. I-I'd rather live a thousand lifetimes where I suffered while you were happy, than life one happy lifetime while you were miserable." She sniffled, wiping at her eyes quickly, although it didn't do much good. "The last thing I want is to hurt you, and doing that would only hurt you more, a-and I know that even if I did it, I'd never have a fraction of the happiness that I have when I'm with you, even despite the pain."
