Nadine is quiet at first, considering. In a way, it's an easy out to just answer him. Clear it all up here and now. He should know more than what he does. She stops a few steps from the barn door, not quite looking at him, snow beginning to fall from the skies that forever threaten to.
It isn't as though she can keep all of herself a secret forever. If it changes things, it changes things. She already feels a little like she's using Jaskier, continuing to accept his companionship and entertain ideas of being closer without telling him things he should know only deepens that feeling.]
Of a place I've never been, and probably never will. [Another sigh, this one not amused at all.] I was actually taken from my wedding night. When I was brought here. I am married, I have been for...half a year. He's not here anymore. Obviously.
[She makes a vague gesture towards Jaskier. None of this would be happening if Randall were still here. For multiple reasons.
The words both weigh on her chest as she says them, and in some way lighten a burden. It's hard to realize how much keeping something in can be a burden. But Nadine's always kept almost everything inside.]
But everything I told you is true. I'm not just some sad, quiet girl from a dead world. I'm...I honestly don't even know what I am, at this point. I just know what I'm not.
