[Talia had been a whirl of emotions since she and Kevas had admitted their feelings for one another. She loved him and there was absolutely no denying that fact, but the guilt over falling for anyone so quickly after the loss of her home and hearth; the love of her life and soulbonds. Was this right? Was she supposed to do this?

She kept all of this under the tightest of shields, but there was one that had picked up on it and had offered to speak to her and she wished to speak to him. She was confused, but as confused as she was she desperately refused to give up wheat she had found, as unlikely a place as this boat was to have found it.

She stares at her communicator for several minutes before steadying herself enough to talk, her shields clamped down as tightly as she can manage. When she speaks, her voice is steady and sounds pleasantly normal. It was a shame that the one person she was reaching for would undoubtedly see right through this.]
