Erorn liked the comfort of James being next to him. "If the plan was just to keep Elwin, why do you even need me? Why give him the option to choose and risk him not picking me?" He wondered out loud. "And even if he does pick me it's not like it's going to last. I can't keep hiding the fact that I love him, and all that stuff with the princess, it's just too risky and I can't just ask him to out himself to his father. I'm screwed if he does pick me and screwed if he doesn't. No matter what the outcome on this, I'm gonna lose." He sighed. "It's just a matter of how bad, but what do you care, you'll be rid of me one way or another soon enough."
