Matthew followed suit of Kaname, and bent down towards Keria as they entered the warehouse. He placed his hand on her forehead to check her temperature, meanwhile guilt rushed through his body.
"I apologize, M'lady," He stated in a monotone voice, though his eyes twitched as if tears were about to form. At this he simply adjusted his goggles, believing his blurred vision was caused by something more logical. "I assumed that the beast would leave your body if I challenged it, and I knew that you did not want to be a part of the demons plot. Yet I can not deny my actions were violent towards you. Please forgive me, master."
Matthew placed his overcoat on her, and withdrew from his set of knives one with a particularly odd shine and symbols inscribed upon it. It was clearly made of silver, meant for sacrifical arts. He placed it in Keria's hand, placing his hand over hers.
"My emotions clouded my decision; my life is devoted to you and only you. Should I displease you again, use this knife to strike me down."
The giving of a silver weapon from the werewolf to the witch is a sacred ritual of trust held in the Graves family. It is symbolic for the bond made by master and servant, and also for a promise of complete obediance towards the witch.
