"That you did."

"I thought you couldn't meet me because you were busy?" I asked her, wondering why she suddenly decided to show up.

"I was. Dakila and I had been meeting the war council since last month because of the dalaketnon's sudden hostility with Mysteshka. But, somehow, you got yourself dragged into it and helped stop it."

"It was going to stop, one way or another." I replied. "Love does that."
