How Much It Matters

The way she laid with Chimera made her feel like they had been in their relationship for ages. She was completely and wholeheartedly trusting in him. She had always been generally very happy and there was never any reason for her to hold grudges. His lifestyle didn't bother her. Maybe it was the freedom blinding her, or maybe it was her real feelings. She felt like it was genuine in these moments. She truly believed that she was where she belonged when they were wrapped together like this.

With the more serious tone their conversation had turned to, she was attentive but not worried. He shouldn't have been either, "You've given me more than I could imagine," She could feel the same way. He was important to her. But she was also smart enough to consider if it was just the harsh life she had before. Was she doing everything only in a debt that she felt she owed, or was she truly here for herself. There was a part of her that thought she'd never know for sure, and a part of her that didn't want to find out.

It was what he brought up next that really changed her expressions and emotions. Not necessarily in a bad way but she wouldn't have expected to be an equal to Chimera's other queens. She was a little hesitant, partially because it was something that she would have rather kept to herself, "I want to be your mate Chimera, but I don't feel like I can measure up to the one's you already love." It wasn't him, it was her. Because he had made her feel loved in all ways. Reila did tend to show a lot of strength and confidence, but she did still feel like and outsider compared to them. She had nothing against any of the women, she just had a hard time seeing herself as Chimera's Klein alongside them.
