Nesta Archeron Week Day 4: Lover
I think Nesta is a 'give it all up for the people you love' kind of a person.
Her self-worth's at an all time low with her belief that Cassian deserved better than her in life.
or
Cassian is dying and Nesta could think of only one way to save him.

Snippet:
Nesta grabbed hold of the rope of her magic before it could seep out of her and shoved it back, back, BACK, and slammed the door shut on her powers. She took a deep breath and jumped up to her feet. There were things that needed doing, she couldn't sit here wallowing in her self pity all day. Perhaps she'll help out in the healers tent. Mother knew they needed all the help they could get, with Illyrians falling out of the sky left and right.
And that's where she was when Nesta felt a deep searing pain that started in her abdomen and climbed all the way to her chest, and knocked her into a table. It wasn't her, this wasn't her injury. It was barrelling down from the place in her chest she had refused to acknowledge, it was him. They weren't mated, she shouldn't be feeling him this acutely, unless...
Unless.
