[Noticing the way Koltira seems to lean a little closer, Meallan takes that as an invitation and immediately pulls himself up to perch on the stone as well, pressing warmly against Koltira's side without a bit of hesitation.]

I'm not going to say it wasn't a terrible choice on my part and that I shouldn't have listened, Koltira, but I will say that while I'm in no hurry to repeat the experience and I intend to listen to you from now on... I also won't promise that it will never happen again. For one thing, I think we both know in this place there's no way we can promise that.

I just wish I could offer you more than that or give you something more useful.
