That look in his lover's eyes broke his heart for just a moment and Aramis was stunned. Elizabeth whined and glanced between the two, before lopping after Athos, whining again to try and get her master's attention. Aramis just watched Athos walk away from him, looking hopeless. "Athos!" He called out desperately, following after him. "Stop this. Stop...acting as if you aren't upset. Please. I'm trying to apologize..." Huffing, he walked after his lover more quickly.
"I'm not going to leave you, you silly fool. I love you as I have never loved before. Why would I ever leave you? Because I realize that is what is torturing you right now. The thought that I'm just playing..." It made sense. Aramis knew of his lover's troubled past and hadn't meant to invoke such things.
