Harley sits down on the couch, giving him space for now so not sitting too close. She listens carefully, not adding much for the moment, "However?"

"The emotional part of my mind quite promptly ignores every bit of logic I know." A frown crosses his features.

Thankfully, Tabitha has fallen asleep on his shoulder.

"I am afraid the your time in the Nexus has caused that logic to be questioned by yourself, which can be hard."

"You want to stay dedicated to your duty to your Clan. The Nexus and it's view on relationships have made you wondering about a possibility of one in your life, I would assume. But you question if you could have one and still be loyal to your Clan and what it stands for."

"What prevents you from having both?"

"It is a contradiction in terms. Sooner or later, given my duty, the two will come into conflict with one another. I am to find out if the Nexus has any potential worth for Star Adder, whether it be for trading or conquest. I have so far failed to mention the anti-violence field, and were I to tell them, I doubt they would believe that such a thing could exist."

"Having a relationship with anyone here could be disastrous if the Clan picks the second option. I could initiate a Trial of Refusal or Trial of Possession, but then I would be declared dezgra and cast out."

"Ah, but Harley, you are assuming that there is only one, and I am not being forced to make a choice between them in the first place."

"Who is forcing you to decide?"

"Culture," he responds simply. "Culture."

"Whose culture? Yours dicates that relationships, especially monotogamous, are not the norm. So it can not be yours."

Unfortunately for Harley, this will take at least fifteen minutes of Caleb sobbing into her and Tabitha going after her. Odds are she'll be quite bloodied by the time this is over.

"I... Harley... I think I need... to be alone for now. B-but... thank you," he whispers. He needs to do this thinking on his own.

Harley will stare at him for a long while, there are words that she could say but that would only make things worse. Instead she lets go and stands to her feet.

She walks, backwards, to the door. So he would not see the damage done to her back by Tabitha. "As you wish, Caleb."

"I am sorry," he whispers again quietly. "So sorry that I do not know what to do..."

Tabitha chirps again at Harley, still angry. At least that -thing- is leaving now.

"Harley does have to turn to take the door knob, but she does it in a way that he can not see her back still.

"Do not be sorry. This is a difficult position. Any other person would be confused by this situation."

"Do what is best for you. Be happy. That is all that matters."
