A strangled sound escaped him, something that might have started as a faint laugh but that had nonetheless turned into a sob halfway through. Very important was an understatement, and it shuddered through him again, how incredibly important Roan had been and still was.
He'd lost his way when he'd left the Order, but he felt this so much more strongly.
"I married him", he said after another small moment that was needed to compose the words at all. His eyes were on the cup of water, and he thought, you're wasting all your water on me, but he didn't say it. He understood the gesture. He appreciated it, but didn't yet move from his spot, all but hugging the back of the chair as he sat, tense and vulnerable.
He didn't know how much he could say about Roan without losing his mind. But he felt the need to explain even if just in some small way how Roan was different. So that somebody who remained would know.
