Try To Shut Me Down

Reila was a woman of many emotions and he could see them all written on her face. The more time they spent together, the more he could read her. So, when she gave him the initial look of pain which shifted into a slight look of gratitude, he merely held her against him and stroked her side with rough pads. He didn't want her attitude towards him to change in the negative, he found. She was quickly becoming a constant in his life that he very much enjoyed having around.

Blue eyes closed and Reila leaned in to kiss him. It would be terribly wrong to deny her after she'd shared such raw emotion and concern with him, so the paw that stroked her side rose to gently cup her cheek. Lips met softly and he was quite tender in the affections that he gave the woman. She needed tenderness right now and he understood that, so tenderness she would get.

When the woman broke the kiss and said that she needed to go get the herbs that Dalila prescribed, he almost told her that she didn't need them. However, in her heightened emotional state, she very well might be at risk of the night terrors that she was trying to escape. Chimera raised his foreleg, allowing her freedom to go and get what she needed from the cart. He stayed where he was at the edge of the ocean, resting in the sand, gazing out over the glittering sea.
