Finnegan Larson - Finn had become just skin and bones. His cheeks were hollow, and ribs were visible, along with every vertebra in his spine. He was a sickly pale shade, every bad thought imaginable floating through his head. Finn just lay there, facing the wall, back to the door, and to Sera, unfeeling.

Sera sobbed, "This is all my fault" she says through sobs, "I'm so sorry" she says drowning in sorrow. "Why does everything I do hurt those that I love?" she questions no one, thinking out loud. She reaches out to gently stroke his cheek.

Finnegan Larson - Finn just stared vacantly at the wall. It was like he wasn't even there. "Its not your fault..." he whispered.
|
|
|
|
 |
Sera reached out, gently grabbing his hand. "It is my fault, there's no need to try and believe it isn't" she says. "I'm sorry" she repeats. "If you want me to leave, I will, whatever you wish" she says, sniffling.

Finnegan Larson - Finn shook his head, still just staring at the wall. "No. I already knew no one wanted me... I don't know why I thought this would be different..."
|

Sera hugs him form behind. "I do want you, I do care" she says. "I just wanted to wait, because I didn't want to get married when we still have the chaos of fighting. I wanted to wait till after we are discharged from the military" she explains, voice soft.

Finnegan Larson - Finn wanted to believe her, but he just couldn't... "You don't want me... I'm so thin and sickly, skin and bones... I can't eat properly anymore... I'm so ugly... all these scars and burn marks... I'm useless... just a burden for you to carry..."

Rosa gently takes his face into her hands. "You are not ugly nor are you useless" she says. "You have a healing gift, I would have been dead if you didn't heal me that one time" she says talking about the one time she nearly died. "And I still think you are handsome" she tells him. "Not only on the outside...." she touches his chest gently, right over his heart. "But also inside" she says. "And, I will always love you. There is no doubt on that"

Finnegan Larson - Finn couldn't believe her, not yet, but he wanted to try. "... you... you really think that?"

Sera nods, "I do" she says will full confidence.
