Turnabout (2 of 2)

Gilean's expression faltered.  "No... you said something..."
"Sanria said she could see it.  Something she saw when you and Claire were together." Colin shrugged dismissively.  "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Sanria yourself."

Gilean stood staring at Colin for another moment, fighting whether or not to accept what he had just been told.  That is what Sanria had said, something about the way he looked at Claire.  But no, that was over, Claire was gone and Sanria was his family now.  He loved her, the kids loved her.  Claire was gone.

Gilean's shoulders drooped a bit in defeat as he turned to leave the training room.

"Gilean!" Colin called sharply.

Gilean paused and half turned, looking over his shoulder at the decidedly intense glare of the large warrior.

"Sanria better be wrong about you and Claire.  I better not be putting up with all of this if you would rather be with someone else.  And you better not hurt Sanria.  Because if you do..."

Gilean narrowed his eyes with a scowl and silently left the room.
