Her words etched into his brain, floating around as he relived the suffering she caused every time he blinked. Her tearing of his flesh that had inflicted these scars that ravished his body. It all faded, even more so once she had set her head on his. He hadn't even realized at first that she had come to his side. “Oh, Alistair… I am so sorry.” He wondered if she could hear his heartbeat racing as her words intoxicating him. He could listen to the sound of her voice all day . . .

She had lifted her head once he felt better enough to stand again, and their introductions carried out. The giggle she let out when he mentioned how he found her to be like a goddess, it spurred a smile over his face as he she did. “Do you really think so?” He smiled and gave a nod. "I do." He said softly, his night skies never leaving her own brilliant blue orbs. She was beautiful, how could he not think that? Even a nearly blind man would think such things of her.

Once he explained his story, what exactly he was running from and why, he saw the worry that passed over her face, her emotion as clear as day - Her brow raised as she had the purest face of worry. He swallowed, worried himself of how she'd react. “Alistair, you do deserve better… So, so much better than that.” He gave a faint smile, "Thank you . . ." He said softly back. He watched her carefully as she neared him again, his heart felt as if it was going to bust out of his chest as she nuzzled into his chest fur. “And you are still extremely handsome… despite what she’s done to you.” Warmth flooded him as she spoke and pressed into his frame with her own, if his thick fur wasn't covering his cheeks he'd be blushing.

He looked to meet her gaze quickly with a raised brow in shock, was she really into him? He didn't know what to think, she was so beautiful and he . . . He was not, not in his eyes. He was once maybe, but now he felt so self conscious over his scars that littered his body . . . “Won’t you… let me make it better?” He swallowed, his mind buzzing with questions. He had only met her and she was already so eager to help him. She truly was a blessing. Maybe his luck was finally turning around, maybe that wish on that star he had made just seconds before Persephone had actually come true. Someone to love who loved him back.

“I can’t take back what she’s done… but I can show you what love truly feels like. We can find it, together...” His shock quickly changed as a smile took over his face, looked to meet hers. "I would love that . . ." He spoke softly as she encased him, her perfume intoxicating him again. He curled his tail around her frame. "If we are to find love together . . . Then shall we seal it?" He asked softly, bringing his face closer to hers with a warm smile spread across his face. He wanted this to work, he'd do whatever for her. He brought his face to her audit, whispering gently into her ear. "I will do anything you wish, and follow you to the ends of the Earth." He pulled his face away only to smile at her again, hoping to once more meet her gaze. "It seems I'm already falling for you." He spoke, his words laced in warmth. "So tell me, love. How do you wish to help me feel better?"
