Laurion- The Talk

Well, she offered him a seat, that was a good sign. Laurion apologizes again for his tardy arrival, and explains he had some details to work out with Hauk before he could come before her with his plan. He assures her she was not forgotten, that she has been foremost in his thoughts since her missive arrived. They have much to discuss...……………...

There is no way he will see her betrothed to another while he draws breath. He feels he has her convinced of that fact. Now to convince her that removing her from her present circumstances is the best option to deflect both Abram and her mother, until they can be mated or wed.

Laurion explains about Astilve, and Hauk's agreement to find her a place there for a few months. He explains the wealth of information available to them at the Scola Alte, and how this information might help him discover more regarding the mystery that is his mother. Rowena can be of great help to him there, and stay safe from her mother's interference at the same time,  while he makes a final endeavor to uncover more information regarding his heritage. He understands it is a lot to assimilate, and assures her of his love. He has spoken to Brenton as well, assuring him of both his love and his intention to marry his sister, and feels they have his support.

It is her decision to make, he won't force her. Rowena has not traveled far from her village, leaving her family and friends for an unknown period of time, to travel miles away, is asking a lot of her. There is nothing to do but give her the time she has asked for to make her decision. He hopes for both of their sakes she understands his plight, and makes the decision favorable to both of them.
