(Old) Munday: The whole truth and nothing but
If you could compel your character to answer one question truthfully, what would it be, and why, and what would their answer be?
Can you take the leap of faith, knowing you're no empath, knowing that's precisely how he's hurt you before and could hurt you again?
These are two characters who know what it is to hurt and be hurt. But Prue is used to demons, to Belthazor specificially, manipulating her emotions. It's his humanity, with a mindset so like hers and yet love for her sister, which as always is the uncertain factor. And she is so reluctant to take risks for herself.
Prue's answer: You know, it's funny -- strip everything magical away, and I'm facing the same "take a risk or don't" dilemma everyone faces. This entire situation has been another rude awakening -- yes, keeping the blame exactly where it belongs -- about where I was headed becaause I tended to think certain risks were things for other people. I want to try not to be that way anymore. I saw where it got me down at the end of one path.
I can only guess what he feels -- fond things, affection, admiration. There'd be a soft landing. It would hurt, if that's all he feels, but it's understandable. And I'd have repaid his honesty in kind. That's worth more than nearly anything else between us.
