He listened and shook his head, not fully understanding what Lyra was trying to say. He watched as she looked down at the ground and spoke. "Empty?" He ran his thumb over the bracelet he had given her on her arm and then looked up his eye catching the necklace she wore, "He's the one who gave you that isn't he? The one you told me about earlier who you spoke to a lot here before you left?" He met her gaze and smiled reassuringly making sure she knew he was alright with this, "Are you going to tell me what was wrong with you earlier?"
Lyra tilted her head as she listened to Robert say that he was not going to physically hurt her but..."But if you like her as much as you say, why would you want to hurt her at all? I mean, if you can't get along with someone or at least try because you love them, then what's the point? You can been physically and mentally attracted to someone but if neither of you wants to work through your problems, what's the use?"
She looked down as he repeated the words she spoke as his fingers brushed across the bracelet he gave her but then his eyes found the piece of jewelry that she never took off. She shook her head as she looked down. She was ashamed for dragging Robert along on an adventure that led to no where. "There are certain things about you...that reminded me of him." She looked up to him once more and sighed. "I should have never..."
She paused as he asked the next question, one that was a little more difficult to talk about but he was slightly easier to talk too than others, he actually listened when she spoke, or at least he seemed too. "I lost someone very close to me," she began with a forced smile. "She taught me so much and cared for me more than my parents ever thought about, Fabian was her husband. I love him and care for him more than...my own family...even though he is technically not family anymore...since she is gone." But just because Ara was gone didn't mean she was going to let go of the one person who cared for her more than her parents.
