Slughorn slipped his arm around Xana as she sat near him. Armchair philosopher was his favourite thing to play. He looked down at her, shooting a quick glance in the eyes then looking away to think. "What do I think?" He thought for a minute. He had a natural leaning toward cynic, but not without exception. "I think that you have to learn to trust it. No one can prove it to you. 'To the skeptic there is no proof enough, to the believer, there is no proof necessary.' I believe the saying goes. However, that does not mean that no effort should be put forth to encourage good faith." He sat up, a bit more alert and ran through his memories and recalled his words to Xana.
Xana settled against Claudian comfortably as he slipped his arm around her. We fit together well, she thought, and smiled with contentment as she listened to him, enjoying the feel of his voice resonating through his frame and into her own. For the first time in ages, she felt serene. She smiled at his quote and nodded slightly, agreeing with his words. The believer is happy; the skeptic is wise. she thought. And balanced between them, lives peace.

Far too much and far too unfair. I've no right to ask you to stay, unless it is your will to stay."
His words, plus his touch, were exactly the affirmation she needed... any doubt she had harboured was washed away from her mind. I want time to stop right here... make perfection last forever. she thought. She gently squeezed his hand and gazed up into his countenance with a gentle smile.

"It's not unfair, nor too much. And it is my will to stay, as long as you want me to."
