*Erik raised his hands in mock surrender.*
"You choose this for yourself, then. Erik did not wish to deal so harshly with you; he has grown strangely compassionate of late. But you will not be allowed to take his family from him."
*He turned for the door, and took a few paces before looking back at her.*
"You wanted Erik, once," *he said sadly.* "It is nice... being wanted."

"The same is true of Julian, and Christian, for that matter."
*He sighed.*
"It will not make any difference; it is true Erik does not love you in the way that you wish. But time has moved differently for us--I want you to know that, at least, whatever else you think about Erik."

"I don't think I can stay with you, Erik. Especially not after you put me here.."

*He turned away.*
"I had no choice," *he said roughly.* "You want to take my family away... I had no choice."

"You couldn't have put me anywhere else, at least?"

*He frowned.*
"It was either the Communard's dungeon, a prison, or here--which would you prefer?"

"But you had to get rid of me, Erik?"

"You wished to take her."
*He lifted his eyes finally.*
"Erik could not let you take her from us. We need her."

"How do- even if time has moved differently for us, you were never there for her as a baby."
