Ghost Behind My Eyes

Her words were some of the last ones he'd expected to hear, and Azure's jaw all but dropped as she admitted why she'd been distancing herself from the Armada. Sparrow was the name of the one who had tried to steal Hana away. The fact that it was a woman brought him the smallest pause, but it seemed right at least when it came to Hana that she'd be one to look past the physical and love the soul of another rather then their bodies. It was another reason he tried to remind himself that she could never love him - she did not know the darkness in his heart. Even his treatment of her would-be-rapist shook her. Sparrow. Azure was committed to remembering the name.

She was speaking again and the bluntness of her words shook him almost as much as the knowledge of Sparrow and her 'lust'. Az suddenly felt defensive, hating himself for the embarrassment he brought upon him and feeling betrayed that she could meet his admittance with anything other then soft understanding. He sharpened his gaze as she did, and stepped back from her touch. "It doesn't matter what you were doing or what your intentions were." He snapped, voice growing cold. "I already told you, I didn't know you wanted to be close to me. For all I knew you were playing your part, forcing yourself to be for me what you assumed I wanted. Don't vilify me for wanting things between us to be real."

He was reminded of the pirate Sparrow, and his annoyance only grew. His teeth bared, though directed more toward the sand then toward her. "You don't have permission to leave." He said bluntly. "If Sparrow takes you, she's taking what's the Armada's - and what's mine." The word was a growl, dangerous and cold. "I will fight for what is mine. Will you bring this fight to your pirate willingly? Do you not care who you hurt by following these selfish desires?" He sought her gaze once more, the faintest display of teeth still visible. "I would do anything, give anything for you, but I cannot let you go. I can't sit idly by and watch someone steal you away."
