Why won't she go away? He thought bitterly. Darcy couldn't figure out why Ishara was still lingering in his hospital room. He'd been none to kind to her and revealed himself as a liar. What did she want?
Darcy didn't say anything when she moved away, and he kept his gaze away from her. Even with Ishara across the room the weight of her small hand against his chest seemed to linger. As well as the scent of her. Freesia and clementine. He remembered it, even in his dreams. He could hear her putting something together at the little cart in the corner that he had briefly noticed was stacked with herbs and vials.
"I don't have anyone," he replied, but didn't elaborate. It was not entirely true. He had siblings, and cousins, but that had not been her question, and he couldn't talk about them without revealing more of who he was. Besides, he could tell by her bouts of giggling that what she wanted to know was if he was seeing anyone. He wish she would stop wanting to know things about him.
It was too late but the general considered for a moment that he should have told her he was indeed happily married with a flock of children somewhere. Easier to get him out of her head then. He wasn't thinking straight, likely from the attack and the pain. He'd have to do better about keeping his mouth shut around her.
"What's this," he asked. He frowned down at the cup and then at her. Doubt swirled in amber eyes. He pushed her hand away when she raised the concoction to his mouth. "Do you intend to poison me, now, witch?"

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
