There is a time and place for everything, and right now, I don’t know why my body would not listen to me, in regards to staying put. I felt that strange urge to get closer to him, one I’ve only felt with family. Why did I feel it with him? I partially understood fated imprints. But I had no idea the depth the bond really had. I had no idea that it would cause this strong of an urge to be close to the other, that my body would move on its own without my permission. Strange, isn’t it, when instinct takes over and all the sudden you’re doing things without knowing it.

I didn’t feel incredibly small next to him, but I felt smaller with him than I did with my family. I tended to be taller than those in my family, so having it be the other way around, that was an interesting turn of events. I couldn’t help it. Being closer to him settled the strange sensation that rattled in my chest. It quieted down.

Listening to him, I shake my head, “Please, don’t go. I know you’re afraid of him, but don’t leave.” me I left out the last part, not wanting to be even more of a pity party. He doesn’t pull away when I touch him, but at the same time he doesn’t return it. I can understand that, but at the same time it feels as if I’m out on a limb and its about to break. Heavy, uncertainty.

My name upon his lips causes a strange swirling sensation in my gut. This wasn’t something I was used to, not in the slightest. I wait, my heart thudding in my chest as I listen to him give in, it lurched, at the possibility of being able to stay with him. “It doesn’t have to be Spirane, if that’s not where you want to go. We can go wherever, I just don’t want you to go, not after everything. Even if we hide in the free lands, I don’t care anymore.” I still don’t know why I was so emotional over the thought of loosing him. It made absolutely no sense, I had never experienced anything close to this before in my life.
