She was of course more than familiar with Siren's kindness by now, but even still she was somehow still stunned by the smaller woman's generosity and understanding when she denied her apology. She listened to Siren's slightly muffled voice as she spoke into her fur, listening as she insisted that it wasn't her fault and that she had never asked for this. It left her speechless and touched her more than Siren would probably realize. Growing up a slave, she was used to taking the blame and having anything and everything tossed onto her, any little slip up being used against her if anything went wrong. Not with Siren. She didn't feel worthy of her lady's kindness and understanding, especially not when she was sitting with this guilt of bringing another soul into this and subjecting her to everything that Chimera was. But when Siren looked up at her, spoke the words she had been hoping she'd be able to hear one day, it somehow felt more worth it. But now you're mine. She was Siren's alone, the freedom to belong to Siren and only Siren bought with furs and valuables and by trading her life for someone else's. It was hard to regret it when she saw the small smile touch her beautiful lady's face, making her smile back in return. "I am," she whispered back, trying desperately to ignore the emotion that she knew she shouldn't feel welling up in her chest. "I'll always be yours." Even if a day came that Siren no longer wanted her or sent her away, Siren would always be the one she secretly loved. No one would ever hold a place in her heart like Siren did. "You should get some rest," she mentioned after a moment. They had made a long journey today and thinking about Chimera massaging Siren's paws flared that jealously back to life even though that emotion was still new and unsettling to her. She gently released Siren, but only so she could scoop her onto her back and carry the tiny woman to their den. Her lady's paws still hurt so she wouldn't allow her to even walk to the den as long as she was able to carry her. Maybe she was over compensating, feeling as if she needed to care for her even more than usual to make herself worth the high price they had paid for this life of theirs to be possible, but either way she still felt like treating her lady a little extra special today. She brought Siren into the den, gently lowering her onto the bed they shared, and gave her a little smile. "I'll be right back, my lady," she said before slipping out into the chamber where their herb shelves were, grabbing a small pot of lavender oil and bringing it back into the bedroom with her. She settled down on the edge of the bed and started gently and carefully massaging the sweet, fragrant oil into Siren's paw pads, a content smile on her face. It felt like the world was right when she was caring for Siren, doting on her and making sure she felt like the princess she was. "Would you like for me to brush out your fur before bed, my lady?" she asked as she moved onto the second forepaw, glancing up at her and trying to ignore how her heart skipped whenever their eyes met. |
