The entire room was silent, Rain would slightly lower his head as a tear runs down from his right eye.

"You know, Ser Patrick wants you to join us. And I can't say I would be against it. The prospect of having you go away once again would be an... unbearable fact to face." Rain said as he slowly raises his head once again.
"I would love to stay here, just to catch up with you. But I can't return to the same relationship we had before. I need to make up my mind. I'm sorry." Abigail would say with a lowered head.
"Tha- That is not a problem at all. Take all the time you need. Come now. I will take you to your room." Rain said as he stood up from his chair.

Shortly after, Abigail walked up to the door, Rain held it open for her. Together the two walked back to the housing where Rain lead Abigail to an empty room with a bed, some shelves, and a storage area.

"It isn't that much, but you can use this room as you wish. Make yourself at home... I guess." Rain said still being unsure of how to behave.
"T-Thanks. Uh. So, how have you been all this time?" Abigail responded.
"Oh, I have been fine." Rain answered.
"Don't lie to me, I know you are affected by the Withered Heart." Abigail snapped at him.
"I have wielded the Ruby Thorn, and I know what its effects are." She added.
"I- Um, you don't need to worry about it. I have already talked with Stella, a powerful Witch. She has a way to cure me. I will be meeting with Ser Patrick and her later today to discuss the details." Rain replied.
"...Rain, could I come to the meeting as well?" Abigail shortly answered.
"Huh, why?" *Rain asked.*
"I did this to you, I want to help you, please." Abigail responded.
"N-No you really don't have to. You were not in self-control ." Rain tried to convince Abigail to stay.
"That is true, but I still want to help." Abigail insisted.
"Hm, fine. You can be so stubborn at times. After all, this is what I like about you. Meet me at Ser Patrick's office in an hour. There we will discuss the details." Rain said as he left the room closing the door behind him.

As Rain walked along the hallway he thought "This is my chance. I can't let something like this happen again, not to me...and not to her." He walks into his room.

Abigail would jawn, she was tired. She didn't sleep for a whole day. She knew that if she tried to sleep now she would miss the meeting. Rain left some food for her in the room, Abigail grabbed it and started to eat.

50 minutes later...

Abigail would approach Ser Patrick's office, in front of it both Rain and Stella were already waiting for her. Stella would notice Abigail immediately and wave at her smiling. Abigail waved back.

"Hey there!" Abigail would say.
"Hello, Abigail, may I introduce you to. Stella, the Frostborn's Master of Witchery." Rain Introduced Stella.
"Oh, Rain I am not that good." Stella would say.
"So you are the one Responsible for Rains curse, right?" Stella would ask.

Abigail would face the ground, not commenting out of shame.

"W-Well anyways we'll get him patched up. There is no need to worry." Stella adds quickly.

A guard exits the Office.

"The Grandmaster is free to meet you now." He would say.

The group entered the office, Ser Patrick was standing behind a large desk. The sunlight would shine in the room through a massive window directly behind the Grandmaster.

"So so, what is it you would like to talk with me about?" Patrick asked Stella.
