Carina supposed it was only fair that she indulged Natalia on her demand to know what was going on. The advisor had only recently been forced to try and build her new relationships with her and Sven on the shaky, unstable ground that was Carina and Sven's relationship with one another. Although, she had barely had time to really build that friendship with Carina when the king and queen were on good terms. It wasn't until Carina was accused that their dynamic seemed to change and take an unexpected turn. From there, she had been pulled and pushed in all manner of directions. Having sympathy for Carina, loyalty to Sven... dealing with the king's jealousy of sharing a friend and worrying over the queen's behaviours over the last few months.
"...I'm sorry. I just-- I had asked Sven to tell you himself first thing this morning so you knew it was true... since it would be coming from him." Carina moved to push back the covers with one hand while the other continued to cradle Lorcan. She swung her legs out of bed, sitting up right on the edge of the bed, her toes wriggling into the rug beneath her feet.
Lorcan wriggled, face wrinkling up as if preparing to make a fuss, but the little heir soon halted and his face relaxed as he fell back to sleep. Certain that he was content after her brief movement, Carina looked back up to the advisor.
There was a certain sheepishness to her as she tried to think of how to start. "We have agreed to... give things another go, yes." She confirmed, straightening the hem of her nightdress, still as careful as ever about that. "It will be a... difficult road, I feel, for the both of us. But ultimately it is what we want. Or at least what we wanted in the early hours of the morning when we spoke." An anxious chuckle escaped her as she realised that her husband could have had second thoughts regarding the second chance.
She had promised not to think of his mistakes as he would cast hers aside too, but she couldn't help but wonder if Eris had gotten to him since then.
Carina immediately shook her head clear of such thoughts, looking down to Lorcan to blink and focus on him. Second chances, a fresh start, a new beginning. She had promised. That meant no more doubts. No more Eris.
"So long as Sven is still in agreement... we won't be needing those papers, Natalia. We're... having a fresh start. Together."
