Lyden can feel his heart pounding in his chest while he patiently waits for caesisus to answer. He already has noticed that the precious creamy girl is malnourished, and filthy. Living in the lagoon he figures is not the cleanest of places so being caked in muck and slim from decaying foliage is something he expects. The sparkle in her eyes however, he hadn’t expected this to be gone and Lyden finds himself cursing silently for telling her to go.
”nothing has ever been black and white m’dear, it was only ever a dream” Lyden’s voice is still kept low so only she could hear while he catches her beautiful gaze for a wonderful moment before it is lost and caesisus looks away. More hope at this moment drained away through his pores, he did not know what exactly he is hoping for with being here with her but right now it definitely felt like caesisus had just more then found herself, it seems as though she has moved on entirely.
Images of when they first met flash through his mind as the memories play like a rapid screen play. He remembers how fascinated they were with one another and how wrong it felt because she belonged to another man. Just spending the short time he had with her, Lyden knew he’d do anything for her. And, that simple fact is as true now as it was back then.
he over powered me is what Lyden hangs on after his breathing becomes rapid. Her explanation of what happened to her had ripped him from his thoughts and he felt as though all his blood drained from his face. raped?!. Anger swarms through him like a snake in the grass while he imagines Dixon’s dark form. Could he had done this to her? This thought lingers on for a moment before he dismisses it, as much as he did not like dixion drooling all over her Lyden did not think he is the one that did this.
Breathing out with frustration and a urge to protect lyden lifts his head and wraps his neck around her own pulling her into him. ”oh honey” Lyden says before falling silent for just a second or two. ”I’m so sorry this happened to you, You deserve so much more out of life” turning to bury his nose into her soft mane he breaths her scent in deeply before exhaling. ”stay with me cae” the words tumble before he can stop them ”I’ll defend and protect you like I’ve always done and take care of you. Nothing more will come to you in such a manner I promise you that”
