Kaelyn turned away to leave.
She reckoned Deklan didn't bring any money, so he must be shivering on the street like a beggar.
It's stupid for him to leave alone without her, all because he wanted to avoid Marsha.
"Can you at least tell me why he's leaving? I get that he wanted to become stronger for his family—but why did he not say goodbye?" Marsha called out again—stopping Kaelyn in her tracks. "Is it because I forced him to risk his life for the hamlet? Is that why?"
Even though it was for the better not bring Marsha, Kaelyn still felt bad.
None of her business, sure, but she still felt sympathy.
"Frankly, I don't know why he avoided you." Kaelyn looked at her again and then looked up, recalling her talk with Deklan. "But from what I can see, the answer should be obvious. You're fixated on what you did wrong after what happened, yet have you ever thought about what Deklan felt?'
"W-What do you mean?"
