for even to think wrongly

She waited. Hypatia had waited a lot in her life, waited for things to come, waited for things to happen, reacted only when they did. He would come back, she kept saying; he would come back. Fenrisulf and Andarin, though perhaps better for water, was not where Sterling needed to be. He needed to be here. The sun had set, and she was beginning to worry. Her face and body were calm, much too calm, as if she were breathing in the light of the dying sun and letting it keep her alive. Kail satmotionless at her side, bringing comfort to his familiar.
Her water reacted instantly to his, pulling Hypatia to turn around and greet this other Water being. The Diadem gleamed in reaction, and the sky flashed again. She turned to see Sterling flashing across the desert sands, leaving puddles in his wake. She stands there, knowing he is almost behind her and it is too late to turn around. He touches her and she remembers Choke for a moment. All this touching. But his is more gentle, more timid than Choke’s. There is bliss in his mind for a few moments and she breathes it in with him.
Wow she smells good.
He speaks, hesitantly, and Hypatia’s lips turn up in a smile. “Yeah, Sterling, I noticed.”
She knows what’s coming and she tries to put it off as long as possible. Just because the Elementals made her this way – does this mean that she really feels this way?
“It’s been good. A little quiet.” Her breathe comes out in ash and she cannot keep her temperature cool any longer.
“I hope not Sterling.” She wants him to love Ni as much as she does. But how could he? He’s a Water stallion, not Fire, not Lightning. “I hope you missed more.”
And what if she can’t love him?
