Sweet as pie

Segin really had to resit the urge to get up and go lay around her when she lowered her head with the softest apology he had ever heard. He didn't know how she felt about physical affection, but he was most certainly a snuggler and at least in his mind most things could be solved with a good snuggle. "It's okay, don't apologize," he assured her, "It doesn't hurt me that much any more, I just didn't really know how to explain it all without going into the whole long story of it." And without telling her the gory, gritty details of his past. If she really wanted to know he would tell her, but the last thing he wanted was to put more darkness onto this sweet, timid woman.

Segin had seen that reaction time and time again from his sisters whenever he insisted on caring for them and comforting them. The unwillingness to risk causing a problem or making themselves a burden was something he knew all too well. He refused to let her feel that way with him though and a grin pulled across his lips as he replied, "What if I want to spend time with you and take you out to the courtyard?" He chuckled softly and got to his paws, stepping over to where she was to gently tap her shoulder with his nose. "A new patch of flowers bloomed along one of the castle walls the other day. Would you like to go check them out?" He phrased it as a question, but he didn't really intend to let her say no. It was too beautiful of a day for her to just be sitting in her room alone.
