Romulus offered Lillith a small half smile when she assured him she was fine, though her words didn't hold any of the bitterness she had when assuring her father that she was okay for what he was sure was probably the millionth time. He nodded his head a little bit and murmured a soft, "Okay." He wasn't going to push her; if Lillith said she was fine, then he believed her. She wasn't his to baby, and even if she was, what good would it do? It would make her feel like shit and make him feel worse for smothering her. So long as she was all right, that was all that mattered to him. He looked over the Adravendi girl again, taking in everything she was. She looked so tired, physically and mentally, like all her strength had been drained from her, but already he could see some life reviving itself in her stunning and unique blood red eyes.
She looked away from him, embarrassed and ashamed, then confessed that she hadn't wanted him to know about her condition. Again, Roman just nodded a little bit. She was just trying to be normal, to be treated like a normal wolf. Clearly nobody in her home life was listening to her or giving her that courtesy. He didn't think it was his place to pass judgment on anyone, so he kept his thoughts to himself, but he could see where her frustrations were coming from. "Well, now that I do, that just makes our fight against the saber cat even more impressive," he told her with a crooked grin that flashed his teeth to her in a lively smile. "You and I took on another predator and you couldn't breathe right half the time. Jeez, you're just trying to make me look bad, aren't you?"
From his smile and glistening steel eyes it was very obvious that he was teasing her in jest. He just wanted to get her to smile again. Lillith didn't seem to have enough reasons to. Breaking his gaze away from hers for a moment to peer back at the door, he leaned closer to Lillith, resting the upper half of his body across the bed so he could lie closer to her while they whispered together. "So is that why your dad kinda hates me? He's being a super protective parent because of..." He gestured broadly with a paw to her laying on the hospital cot.
"Romulus Armada"
