Summary: Aerin's moment of weakness

Aerin had to be strong. And she was. Most of the times. When she stole food for Morwen and Nienor, when she opposed Brodda in some important political matters. Even if it didn’t give much. She was strong.
But sometimes she had to allow herself to be weak. In order not to break. So she did that day. She was completely alone in the cowshed, and she knew none would approach any time soon. She sat on the boards and just cried. Maybe she was featured among the women of her House, but she didn’t want this life. She lost.

So sad, to be forced into a life not your choosing. We are quite fortunate in our day and age, this type of forcing rarely comes our way.

It's awful when you have to play the 'strong' one, but inside you're breaking. Very true to life.
