[quote=XxLyraxX] Azure flinched slightly when he knelt down to her level but she remained fixed in place. Of course she wasn't his enemy, she hasn't hurt him and as long as he didn't try to harm her she saw no reason to try to do anything to him. Her red eyes trailed up to his ears and she grasped the front of her dirty dress, resisting the urge to reach up and touch his ears; she didn't think he would appreciate that very much. Her eyes widened when he hit the nail on the head about what she was. She flinched back violently, back pressing against the tree as she gazed at him with terrified eyes. Now that he knew what she was, would he try to kill her? Rid the world of the abomination that she was?

[/quote] Ansen simply chuckled quietly when the girl flinched away, his smile still evident even though he began standing back up. "Do not worry yourself.. I only strike those who strike those I have promised to protect. Now, it seems to me I already have one demon to watch over.. What about you? Do you have family with you? Friends?" The Cianid said, his hand breaking it's hold on her as he peered around their quiet surroundings before continuing. "We can't be a foster family.. Taking random kids along for a journey that could get us all killed.. I hope you understand that, child." With that the guardian took a few steps back and held out his hand again, giving the girl a choice to either walk away or come with him. "IF unspeakable night terrors do not scare you away then take my hand. I can not promise your safety, but I can promise you a life that is not full of anger and fear."
