"I feel stupid more than anything. I didn't even want it...and then we had to fight...and I realized I did, very much." She looked at Amelia, thinking of all the things that had come before, of Amelia's mouth on her, and her mouth... She bit her lip and said no more.

"I... well..." Ami said, putting her arm around Arania's shoulders. "It was nice... but then it all went wrong. I promise, I won't tell anyone."

"It doesn't matter if you tell or not. Everyone already knows at the Palace. And I'll have to tell Kalvin when he comes back..." She threw her arms around Amelia's neck. "I've really ruined everything!"

"No you haven't!" Ami said, hugging the girl tightly. "And you don't have to tell Kal if you don't want to. I mean..." She didn't know what to tell the girl.

"Oh, I thought of that...but I couldn't lie about it. It would be a sword hovering over my neck for the rest of time." She shook her head. "He said we weren't married yet, and to have other men. I just don't think he thought I would go for it. Or quite in that way."

"Maybe you could downplay it a little?" Amelia suggested. "He doesn't have to know exactly... what happened to you." She stroked Arania's head and looked at the girl, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Though I do not think my presence in Meereen will help any negotiations much."

"I'll try. It's not like he..." she shuddered. "It was only his hands. I'd feel sorry for him if only..." She shuddered, sitting up properly at last. "I'll be alright," she said decisively. "Do you plan to leave Meereen, now? Please don't go...it was hard enough waiting for you to come."

"I cannot stay here, not with what we did," Amelia said. "The king already liked you, but he didn't even know me. If he now finds out I am a representative of the North..." She shook her head. "I will take Danya with me. Perhaps go further east." She grins.

"Oh," said Arania, drawing her knees up to her chest. "He didn't know? I really wish you would stay. Its so lonely here. I never thought I would say that, but I can't even speak the language of most of these people. If you think its necessary, then I couldn't stop you, though."

"Kal will be back soon and then you won't be lonely anymore," Ami assured her friend. "I just don't think I should let my recent... acts stain the reputation of the other ambassadors. You'll be alright."

"And you don't think mine had any effect?" She laughed harshly. "You're right though. Be sure to write me from wherever you end up. Do you think you'll be leaving immediately? Don't you think Kal and the others would like to see you again before you're off?"

"Knowing that Kal will find out I got you into such terrible a situation I doubt he will want to see me," Ami said, giving a brief shake of the head. "I will be leaving as soon as I can."

Arania just looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry it came to this, Amelia. You seem different, since you came back from the Dothraki Sea. Was it so terrible as all that?"

Ami looked Arania deep in the eyes, a sad look appearing on her face. "It is nothing that I would wish on you, my dear." Anyone else... perhaps...

"I suppose it was, then." Arania looked at her toes, peeking out from under the edge of the blanker. "Be safe, when you go?"
