Cypress could not suppress the guilt he felt as she dressed his wounds. Yes, at least he was back. At least he could be there for his family. But still, family was family. He would take a deep breath, looking to Arian as the subject seemed to shift. Why did he love her? The man would shift, rising up so that he could gently nuzzle her. “Come now, why would you say such things, Arian?” The man would ask gently. “I love you because I see your inner strength... Someone with the courage to be more than they are, to stand up and take life by the horns and yell in it’s face. Then, to top it all of you’re beautiful. How could I not fall in love with such a woman?” Cy would gently try to smile. “Come now my love, smile, it suits you far better.”
