"No. I said I would, remember...?" She gives off a reassuring smile to show him that despite how uncomfortable this is making her she'll be fine. She's already had to wear a dress for that imprompto ball one of the other masters had thrown it's not like he has't seen her out of her comfort zone before. "Besides, I don't know about you...but I could really use a bath."
But then Rider grips her a little tighter, her eyes widen some but then she realizes his concern for her The scar is exposed now, there's no hiding it now she's alone with him like this.
"It happened when I was just a kid. My Father...well, when mom died it was just the two of us for a while and I guess for some reason I was able to move on but my father... he never did. He took his magecraft a little too seriously and when he had reached his limits on one field he'd try with another." She leans back and sighs some, staring up at the ceiling. "I guess at some point...Dad must have truly lost it because he decided that I'd be the perfect vessel to experiment with. It's weird... I don't remember too much of what happened or what he was really even trying to do.
Eventually Uncle Glad turned up and took me away...eventually, I think dad died from grief from losing my mom and then me...but-" She rubs at her neck some. "Some things...just stay with you. I don't think he loved me the same way he loved my mother so me being around reminded him way too much of her. I suppose at some point he'd grow so angry that he'd wind up hurting someone."
Well that came out easier then she thought it would. Maybe because Rider's really easy to speak to and in a sense he has that weird fatherly aura to him. Rider's someone she could trust with matters such as these. Not even any of her friends knew the real reason she actually lived with her uncle, How could they? It meant she had to bring up her secret life as a mage.
"...So now you know. Heh." She gives a cocky little grin to show she's actually fine. Yes the past can hurt, but she's done her best to put it all behind her and move onward and having Rider around has really helped her become more trusting towards others, It's been really nice having a friend she can be open with and do things like this.
"Okay, now you." she learns forward, somehow feeling a little more comfortable now she's let him in. "Tell me something about you, you haven't told me yet! And none of the stuff that's already covered in the history books...I need to know the real King of Conquerors."
