Part of her hoped it was Dallin because she had missed him the past few days they had been avoiding each other. The other part of her silently begged it wasn't him because this was all her fault. She was the one that brought her past up and made Dallin get upset at her. She was the one to blame for her decisions. The fight was her fault. Dallin was hurt because of her. He wouldn't have left if he wasn't.

Ellie was convinced that she was a horrible person.

When the person approached the gate and held on, Ellie glanced over at them. It was Dallin. Her heart skipped a beat and she leaned her head against the gate with a small sigh. But a couple seconds, later she stood up straight and folded her arms, looking back up at thestrals.

She had no idea what to do. She had no idea what to say. Apparently he didn't either, because he wasn't talking or moving. Then why was he here? Ellie squinted, even though it wasn't sunny. It was just... weird. Being next to him like this. Not talking. Not knowing what the hell was going on. It wasn't good, Ellie knew that.


When the thestrals landed Dallin looked down at his feet. Apparently Ellie wasn't going to say anything. And... Dallin couldn't blame her. He had been the one to come over anyway, it was his responsibility to say something first.

What could he say, though? He could apologize, of course... that had been his original plan. But suddenly the words 'I'm sorry' didn't seem to cover it. Dallin hated those words anyway; people used them for things they had no control over... they had lost meaning. He couldn't just tell Ellie he was sorry. It just wasn't enough.

He glanced at her, watching her for a moment before looking back through the gate. He leaned back, closing his eyes before pulling himself back up. Then he turned to face Ellie, leaning sideways against a bar in the gate. "Look." He sighed, shaking his head. He wasn't good with words. "I'm an idiot." He had had a few people tell him that, too. Treyen had even hit the idea into his head with a book. So Dallin knew. "And... I shouldn't have walked away... then. And..." He sighed again, shrugging. Was Ellie going to say something, or would he have to keep blabbering like the idiot he was?
