silent whispers silent tears

Leon was more than relieved to hear that the beast she spoke of had left her alone. It relieved him to know that she had not been harmed, but it definitely did not help the possessive part of him that was so underlying. He wanted that part of him to remain dormant but...would that happen? Would he ever try to possess her? No, he wouldn't. And that was why he refused to tell her how he felt. It would ultimately lead to things they both didn't need in their life. He offered her a warm smile and moved forward to lightly touch his nose to her shoulder, "I'm sorry, y'know. I should have been here to keep you safe," that much he was wrong for. Ashtoreth was never meant to be alone. To fight for herself.

a laugh frothed from beyond the man's inked lips and he nodded to her all in good jest. he was moving to fast and it was past time he digress a bit. Letting the words totter off and her joke warm the air he didn't intend on going any more into anything than was needed, "Or perhaps it'll be perfectly warm by a tree...at the edge of the waters...just watching the stars, hm?" the smooth words fell off his tongue with ease and he retreated to his silence, his understanding and the place that was always good for him to be in. After all, being around others was still foreign to him given the recent months.

he laughed lightly thinking about the time they had shared. the memory was not something hard for him to recall, nor was it unpleasant. he dearly enjoyed it...dearly wanted it more...dearly needed to stop. He cleared his throat and sped their conversation onward as was meant to be, "Perhaps, as I gave you one night, you'll give me one. Then I'll find my own to go to?" he offered a firm and easy resolution to their problems without allowing himself any more pleasure than was absolutely necessary. what was he getting himself into?
