When he asked her about giving her so-called family nightmares, she shook her head, "No. No..." she brushed her hair back in front of her eye, "I've seen Spirit take its toll on you... I don't ever want you to risk that... Not for me..."

She hugged herself as he ran his hand through her hair. She smiled, even when disgruntled and angry, he managed to make her heart beat a little faster. She wondered slightly if her aura changed when he held her hand. She noticed him looking at her closely and felt comfortable under his gaze. Had it been anyone else, she felt like she might feel as though they were scrutinizing her. But not with Sebastian... Never with Sebastian.

He took her hand that she was shaking and rose it to his lip. He kissed her fingers, smirking all the while, "Along to kiss your booboo."

He chuckled before picking up the apple he had grabbed and biting into it, "I'm getting excited for hand to hand combat, if that's your best punch."
