She took his hands in hers, "Nobody deserves to live down here, you're right about that," she said, "And don't hurt yourself over me, I knew since I was nine that I would have an arranged marriage, that's what happens when you're born into royalty". She pulled him to his feet as best she could, "And to your unasked question," she paused taking a deep breath forcing herself to say what she had to, "I will help you". She gave him a small smile trying to persuade him that though she was still depressed about what had happened, that she was dealing with it and learning to cope and that he shouldn't worry about her. She knew that this marriage now was inevitable and that she had to learn to live with that fact and live with Cain, to learn to love him just like her parents learned to love each other. She knew it would be difficult to love the king of the Orogs, but it had to be done whether she liked it or not.

He had killed a Silvian Stalker, a hunter of Orogs. He devoured him in a frenzy as any Orog would most certainly have, but then something unexpected happened. Guilt. It was a greater poacher than any Silvian had been, it stopped him where he could be stopped--his mind. He had found himself such a beast he didn't eat for weeks. He had hid in a storm drain, contemplating what his mother would have said to him had she found out. Even though she was human and never had the hunger like he did, she would've been disappointed in him for losing control.
"And don't hurt yourself over me, I knew since I was nine that I would have an arranged marriage, that's what happens when you're born into royalty" She told him, trying to pull him off the ground. Not realizing it, she was trying particularly hard and he wasn't exactly budging. Cain then stood up, watching her expression. It seemed like she was as though an animal too profoundly altered by her environment and the situation at hand--to be honestly concerned about his race. She was fighting a tide of on coming depression.
"And to your unasked question," He could tell she was hard considering the question, but reluctant to answer. "I will help you" Cain watched her smile, it was weak and broken. He could tell she still felt force into this position. He knew who was to blame. He was still looking down at her hand, and he knew what he had to do. He had to take her back. She had to be willing or his efforts, all that he had worked to prove the Orogs were capable of was for nothing.
"I will take you home..." He said quietly, never letting go of her hand, still caressing it like it were still simply something to be gawked at and amazed over. " I'll personally bring you to the teleporter and then...then you can decide." He finally released her hand and looked her in the eyes staring down at her. He had a hurt expression on his countenance. "I just wanted this so much for my people, I guess I forgot to just think it through thoroughly. But I knew if I didn't do something drastic, that no body would hear me or my words."
