He seemed so distraught by the small request. It wasn't as if she were asking for his throne or to lead an army. All she was asking for was to simply leave the tunnels and go above ground if only for an hour. The girl couldn't understand why it was so hard for him to really agree to it. He would try for her, but he seemed so put off by it that it made her heart break a little. She wouldn't want to put him in a situation that he didn't like or felt uneasy by. She'd never do that to him.
Lia gave a faint smile at him as she thought about it. She gave a small nuzzle to his hand before turning slightly to kiss the tips of his fingers, one by one. She held his hand in her own, looking somberly down at where their two hands now met. "Nevermind Razor... Forget I said anything," she said quietly, still looking down at their hands as her hair slowly slipped from behind her shoulders to frame the sides of her face; blocking her face from his gaze. While she agreed to let him do things his way, it no longer seemed as if it were a good idea. The way he treated it was enough to put her off about it and no longer consider going outside. It was a silly request. She had everything she could ever need here and he was trying. He even created this room for her so she could feel as if she were outside. Maybe she was asking for too much. She could be fine with how it was now.
A wave of sadness slowly kept lapping at the back of her mind as she thought about it more. What she wanted was out there, but not at the expense of causing a rift between them. She'd stay where he wanted her, tucked away quietly in the palace walls. Lia bit back the urge to sigh as the pain slowly was getting to her. She needed to be alone for a bit and digest what was going on today. "You should go back to work... I've taken enough of your time for today dear." She gave another soft kiss to the top of her hand before glancing up at him to try to give him a smile. She was hurt, but she'd deal with it when she was back in her room. Lia held his hand for a few more moments before letting him go.
"I'll see you for dinner?"
