"You did."
*Calm again, she picked up her tea and sipped it as it had cooled.*
"But that was a long time ago, Dickon."

((OH GOD MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL?
ANNE:
There was a time when I was sure That you and I were truly one That our future was forever And would never come undone And we came so close to being close And Though you cared for me There's distance in your eyes tonight So we're not meant to be
The love is gone, the love is gone The sweetest dream that we have ever known The love is gone, the love is gone I wish you well, but I must leave you now, alone
There comes a moment in your life Like a window, and you see Your future there before you And how perfect life can be But adventure calls with unknown voices Pulling you away Be careful or you may regret The choice you make someday
When love is gone, when love is gone The sweetest dream that we have ever known When love is gone, when love is gone I wish you well, but I must leave you now, alone
It was almost love It was almost always It was like a fairy tale we'd live out, you and I And yes, some dreams come true And yes, some dreams fall through And yes, the time has come for us to say goodbye
Yes, some dreams come true And yes, some dreams fall through Yes, the time has come for us to say goodbye........... ))
"No. Every day..."

"I don't want you to slash yourself to ribbons! You didn't have to do that! I don't want you to do anything for my sake because then I won't be in your debt and have it thrown back in my face every time you're afraid to face the truth when I speak it!"

"...So just STOP trying to be all noble and then using that as a crutch whenever you do something hurtful! 'I've neglected you for the better part of our mutual afterlife--but I'm noble! I slept with a whore but expect you to remain faithful--but I'm noble! I can't think about anyone other than myself--but I'm noble!' You might SAY you do things for the sake of others, but you only have ONE cause, and it's YOURSELF!"

Richard jumped up (such as he could) and simultaneously pulled back his hand as though to strike her, but he caught himself just in time and sat down again slowly.

"...you should have done it," *she said in a low voice before turning and walking out the back door to the little fenced garden behind the inn.* "You should have done it."

"Anne, wait..."
He limped desperately after her.

((Oh God, the limp. My heartstrings. Aiiie.))
*Anne sat on an overturned washtub that had been set out to dry in the sun, her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. She'd been waiting for hundreds of years--what was another minute, now? Tears slid down her cheeks, and while she wasn't proud of it, she did nothing to hide them.*
"...what's the point?" *she murmured, half to herself.*

((YOU CANNOT DENY THE AWW-NESS OF THE LIMP... wait, what? That's CUTE now?))
He took her hand in his.
"What would you have me do?"

*She tried to drag her hand out of his grip.*
"Forget what happened in your life. Move on. For everyone's sake."
