The ＴＯＯＫ ＹＯＵ ＩＮ Shipping Meme
They were on your front door, in your yard, or on the street, confused and clearly in no position to fend for themselves; in a worst case scenario, they were bruised and battered, possibly close to death. Bleeding heart or not, you can't just be so cruel as to let them suffer. They need a place to stay, and you'll open your home to them...long enough to get back on their feet, anyway.
Speaking of feet, the shoe could be on the other one. You're worse for the wear - in a new place, possibly injured, certainly not in the best state of mind. You could not even remember how you got here or who you are to get here, for that matter. You may not want to remember. Whether willing or not so willing, you're in no position to turn down help, especially if said helper won't take no for an answer. No matter how dedicated you are to looking after yourself, there's only so much you can do in your position.
The two of you are staying together, at any rate. Only for a while, the plan is. But after said while, even though strength and confidence is returning to the injured, there's something a little different between you two. It could be the close quarters, the kindness shown, or a number of things, but quietly, softly, feelings have grown. Could more confusion and hurt spring from this? What about when it's time to go? Can the temporary resident leave as easily as they intended? You're so close now, perhaps a little while longer can't do any harm...
...until whatever it was that put them in such a perilous position in the first place comes back, and there could be "justice" for anyone who's dared to help.

Right had promised to help the former ruler Lacus adjust to these new times, and he wasn't the kind of guy to go back on such promises. After all, it was cruel to leave such a kind and warm-hearted woman behind when she needs a companion the most. Not to mention the fact that it's actually really nice to share his bedroll with such a beautiful lover...
But it also meant leaving behind the villagers who simply didn't believe that she really is who she said she is. For some reason, they kept claiming that she was a fake, and that they had destroyed a precious relic of their history. Which was a shame, in his mind. It wasn't like she was going to them to be her subjects again or anything like that...right?
At any rate, they've had to leave town in a hurry, though in Right's opinion, it's more for Lacus' safety than his own. It's not the first time he's been run out of town over a perceived wrong. But Lacus...those were the descendants of her people. And being called a fake and forced to leave the area that she ruled over for so long...
After arriving in a new town in another area, Right found himself coming back to their room after settling the cost with the innkeeper. He did his best to smile reassuringly at her. "I got it as low as I could, so we'll be able to rest here for a few days..."

"Thank you... I... I didn't expect everything that happened to go the way it did." Lacus admitted. "I honestly thought that they'd bring me back and yet..."
no subject
The town historian, at least, had believed them, after testing Lacus with knowledge that only a scholar like her would've known. She had been the one to help them leave town without any harm coming to either of them, even going so far as to giving Lacus a scroll that contained a clue as to some wondrous item that was supposed to be used as proof of her lineage. While Right's natural curiosity was piqued by it, his concern for her outweighed it by a lot.
Thus, he finds himself shaking his head as if to clear it of dark thoughts. "At least you weren't hurt, and I'm glad for that."
