You're not fine. That's something said only when you do not wish to make someone worry; trust me, I've done that myself.
[It's strange. She wouldn't pursue it as much if it were a stranger but what she says to him is blunt and straight to the point. Mira only feels she could say that because of recent events; it's not often that she breaks down and expresses her worries outside of her Bonded. It's what he deserves from her, no less.]
That's a little too late because that's what people do when they care about someone: we want to see them happy, we worry when they get hurt, we get scared if we think they're in danger, and we tell them if something is wrong because hiding it will always end up biting someone in the arse sooner or later. I can't do that to you.
[Which also means she too should speak about her own worries.]
I would not be so against it if the feeling was not forced on me. At that point, it is not love they are spreading but manipulation. You cannot force someone to feel love otherwise they will want to push back in means of protecting themselves. I knew from the beginning that this time was not good for me and decided to stay away because I didn't wish to be any kind of hindrance or cause harm for those wishing to celebrate.
And that's what happened. People trying to force the matter on me despite my attempts in being polite until it got too much. It would be fine if they left me alone but it didn't happen.
[Not only that, it sadly reminds her of times where her choice or her options didn't matter one bit. Can anyone blame her for feeling uncomfortable or trying to run? She should know about love, hells, that's the source of power used to fuel the Flame in the Abyss. But freely given, not forced.]
