Gethin felt the silence settle over them once he finished speaking and he watched Mercy curiously as she lifted her head to look at him. He honestly didn't know what to expect from her. It was the first time he had told anyone that he had actually killed his father. Not that he had really set out to do so, but it didn't change the fact that he had done it. He didn't regret it. It had freed himself and his brother of their father's torment and kept their father from doing the same thing to any more of his "sons". All the same, he was still a little relieved to hear Mercy say that she would have done the same if it came down to it before she rested her head on him again. He paused for a moment, peering at her while she began to lap at one of his forelimbs. What an interesting woman she was. He hummed quietly and rested his head on the ground near hers, his ruby gaze still just watching her. He was pleased and a little surprised when she asked to stay with him. "Of course," he replied without hesitation. What did he have to lose? He had been simply wandering constantly since he left Isolde and gave up on looking for Seneca. It wasn't like he had anywhere to be or anyone to answer to. "I've pretty much been alone since my brother left," he added, "It'll be nice to have some company." He smirked slightly and gently nibbled at her cheek. "Besides, who am I to say no to my vicious beauty?" |
