She couldn't help a very soft laugh at that. She didn't want to embarrass him but, honestly, he just looked strangely cute in that moment. Well, cuter technically, since Bert was already obnoxiously good looking. "I figured she would have something to do with it, but you shouldn't worry about that. She only wanted to stay here because she thought you weren't interested anymore. It took you both too damn long to just go through with it. I should have sat and had a talk with the both of you."
But they'd figured it out so nothing else really mattered. "I told Roland before that I would go with him and I intend to, but I do need to settle my family before I go off on an insane quest that we both know will likely kill me." She snorted humorlessly, rolling her eyes. "Which is fine, I mean, hell, I tried to off myself in Gabrielle's room, if I couldn't pull it off there then even I have to accept that ka has something to do with this." And that was a very begrudging admittance. "Anyway, what I mean to say is that I was always coming along, I just didn't think it would be good to be married with her around. I can't be jealous of you because you're in a completely different league, but her?" Another snort, here. "Women are dangerous when they feel competitive."
It was a very polite way of saying that she didn't think Susan had anything on her aside from Roland's built up ideals, which were a force by themselves. "If he thought that I wasn't going to come along then it was just a misunderstanding. Even if he does end up with her I'm not going anywhere. Kaine needs you, and I need Kaine. Just don't tell her I said that, or she'll suggest uncomfortable scenarios."
