"Stop this. Stop this thinking now," she mourned and the words was an order, but also even a word of warning.
Then she continued, "We have only just met and yet, I know I can never be without you. If you continue like this. Raving mad, I will lose you, Terrowin and I can not bare the thought of it."
"Fine, but I am puzzled," he snarled behind his teeth as he glared at the ground, feeling the same way a child feels scolded or man who has been cheated. But when she end with that last sentence, "No one is going to take me from you, I'll make damn sure of that."
That last sentence- that promise had him stare into her eyes, discovering she was his guardian in a world he titled frightening and horror-filled, but nobles and commons dwell in the reality and not what he saw a nightmare. And he never heard a lady even spit out one curse, but that curse added heart-warming feeling.
"No, No I am not," he finally responded yet again, face adjusting into relief.
"I dare not be puzzled or bewildered, no. You are my guardian out in what feels a strange world to me, but your home. When you arrive in my home, that is the time I protect you."
A paused filled him as a smile did on his face.
"And Aleiia, remind me never to duel you."
