The longer he sat in Phoebe's embrace, the more he began to mull over the feelings that were bubbling inside of him. Upon closer inspection he would realize that he had seen these feelings before, with that woman back in his homeland all that time ago. But that had been years ago and he had moved on; so had she. She had wanted to stay in her birthland and the behemoth couldn't bring himself to tear her away from the one thing that she knew, so he'd left her there. There was a chance of him returning, but she knew it was slight. He didn't ask her to wait for him nor did she volunteer to wait for him, which was just fine with him. He hadn't expected to find another woman after her, and yet here he was with Phoebe, those same feelings knocking at his door. Sure, he had run into plenty of women since arriving in Alacritis and he would've done the same for them had they been here instead of Phoebe, but there was more with her than just his duty to protect those that couldn't. What it was he didn't know if he knew exactly.

His tiny speech would be rewarded with a lick to his skull and the beast would rumble with approval, liking any touch that Phoebe provided him with. You're a good wolf, Conan. Much better than myself. You don't want to be my friend. I'm selfish and vain and honestly wouldn't have dared to do what you just did for me...I'm not someone you want in your life, Conan. The thickness of her voice surprised him and he would pull back from her, skull tipping upwards so his ruby gaze could meet her silver one, though he came to notice that they were closed, tears silently running down her cheeks. Phoebe...look at me please... He would gently bump her chin, encouraging her to open her eyes and really look at him.

He would wait until her silver eyes came back into view before continuing, his gaze holding hers so that she couldn't look away. You have no idea who I do or don't want in my life, so there is no need to start throwing out assumptions. So what if you're selfish and vain? Everyone is selfish in their own way as well as vain. We wouldn't be wolves if we weren't vain. He hoped his weak attempt at humor might bring that smile back, hating to see her so torn up about nothing really. But none of that means that you're bad. Not everyone is selfless, not everyone is selfish. Everyone has their good and bad qualities about them, even myself. ANd they're qualities no one should ever see. But that doesn't stop me from trying to get out there and meet others. Had I given into my fear of my own bad qualities, I would've never approached you and we would've never met and that would've been the biggest shame in my life. I can tell you with certainty Phoebe that I do want you in my life, whether as a friend or more we will have to see, but I'm not going anywhere anytime soon...Unless of course you me to leave you alone... His voice would become quiet towards the end as he remembered the woman from his homelands, hoping that Phoebe wouldn't ask him to go away either.
