Caught in a confusing swirl of emotions, of desire and heartache mingled, Edmund slid to one side to pillow his face in Al's fur. The most honorable and faithful among Men or Beasts, kind and warm-hearted and selfless, a man infinitely worth loving and being loved by, and yet who couldn't be his. It was a cruel turn of events, but for love of him, Edmund would accept whatever he wished, even if it meant parting ways forever.
It wasn't any sort of answer like what he was expecting to hear. Edmund was stunned into silence for a moment or two. "Oh," he said quietly. And then, even more quietly -
"What would you have chosen for us, Al? For me? What would you wish for?"
It seemed important to him. To know what was in Al's heart, and what he saw for the two of them. His breath shuddered unevenly across golden spikes of hair, stirring them into motion, while his free hand stroked another wayward patch smooth. Strangely, it was now that Edmund found himself most wanting to listen to what Al had to say.
