Silence of the Hillside

Somehow it would seem Mariah could see through him, he was pretty much an open book but she must have known him better than he thought. Scylla may have acted first talked later, Mariah was more concerned about about his feelings prior. It wasn't an undesirable trait, he just couldn't slip by the emotions he was feeling so strongly.

His face didn't really turn sad, but it was softened as he looked back at her. He held his breath for a moment, eyes searching over her features as he thought to himself. The weight of the world not so much on his shoulders anymore, but still the obligation of what he needed to do for his siblings. When his breath finally left him, his paw brushed along her cheek and down her neck and shoulder, "I just want to be with you, Mariah." Entirely full of longing, he'd pull her a bit closer but he wouldn't push her past that. He told her what he wanted in the least, he just wasn't the kind to take. He hadn't sought her out recently because of their own separate lives, because Cerberus wouldn't seem as desperate as his heart told him he was. But when he was here given the opportunity he didn't want to give it up. At least if Mariah was willing to share what they had before. He did want to be with her, it was as simple as that.
