Cassette speaks not a word, staring at the ground now, as she listens... and when Alphonse pauses... she doesn't move. Her body so still, that if you were not to have noticed her breathing, you would think she was a statue, lost in thought, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She suddenly inhaled, so softly, yet it sounded louder because it may have been one of the only sounds in the guild building.. She parted her lips to speak.
"Alphonse... if I ever learned one thing, and ever stood by one thing in my life, it would be that to hide your feelings... is wrong. If you have feelings for someone, although it may not be a good time to say them, it's wrong to keep them in, and hidden, for however long. I'll admit, sometimes I've had feelings I probably shouldn't have had, and I am forever loyal to my husband..." She sighed, and stood, walking over to him, and giving him a searching look. One that pleaded with him to listen to her.
"...but I've made my share of horrible...horrible mistakes. Maybe it's the fates punishing me, by taking my husband away from me, and taking away his memory... but I've involved myself with another, and I fear I may do it again. I can't deny... I've felt for you too... but I cannot do anything about it now, except offer myself, and all that I have. You've always had my friendship, and I daresay... you may..."
She stopped, slid a hand to his cheek, and held it there, looking gently into his eyes, tears welling up before she looked away, but her hand stayed where it lay.
"I-I'm..sorry. I do not wish to trouble you, nor anyone else... I wonder sometimes if I should just leave this town, before I cause more trouble...cause more hurt and.. ruin more lives..." She bit her lip, and slid her hand from his face, covering her mouth with it.
