He's told her that before. It was the reason she went through all that trouble, called in those favors to save Lux. Because it was his home, and he was her friend, and it means the world to her that he is safe and happy.
And then he left. Where could he have gone? If he turned away from his divine duties, and then he left Lux... He has nowhere to go.
Worst of all, Chloe is the reason he left. She is the reason he turned away from the only thing he had left. The only thing he loves. The thought makes her ill, and she swallows a gulp of her drink to try to stave off the incoming feeling of doom as she tries to put the pieces together. He obviously already knew what she could do to him, that she makes him mortal, yet he still wanted to be with her. Maybe it was his feelings that scared him away, maybe it was almost losing her. Or maybe it was something else altogether.
It finally dawns on her that maybe he didn't run because of what she can do to him.
Maybe he ran because he found out why. ]
Yeah. It is your home. [ She smiles at him weakly, while all along her heart breaks. Chloe wishes she knew what lay ahead, as if it would somehow ease his mind if she had insight he didn't. Knowing now what he hid from her, the magic that she would have never believed, Chloe knows that she was completely in the dark at home. Everyone seems to know what is going on except for her.
Still, she smiles. Still, she leans towards him, her eyes meeting his, telling him the truth because it's all she really has left to give him. It won't change anything at home but maybe, just maybe, it will make things better here. ]
