Her words made him smile, "It's definitely a possibility..." He grew serious, "Serena... I didn't tell Anya soon enough, I spent so much time fighting what I felt and worrying that I wasn't good enough that I missed out on her life.. I... don't want to make the same mistake with you..." He took a breath, "I don't just care about you Serena... I'm in love with you. I don't care about your past or your scars and I don't care that I'm noble and you're a dhampir, nobility has never been my thing anyway."

He looked away embarrassed, "I'm nuts... completely insane sometimes... half the time I don't know what I want, but I know I want to be with you. Guardian or not, I want you with me. That's why I did what I did..."

Sebastian could feel the shame and disappointment radiating off her, her aura was brushing his enough he could manage that. After she'd freed him he sat up, caught her around the waist and tugged her onto the bed with him. He wasn't sure what he wanted to say but he wanted to say something... anything to make her feel better. He considered his options and wondered... 

"I have an idea..." He rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm not sure if it will work, but it's something worth trying... if you want." He sighed a little, "Addiction is an illness, it's your body relying on what you were getting. I can heal an illness but an illness like that would take repeated healing over time until it's out of your system again... Then, there is another method... Humans use hypnotism to make people forget or remember things. I can't make you forget your life but maybe I can make you forget the biggest problem... the way the bites felt. That will take repeated compulsion too... but if we stretch it out over time and do only a little at a time I should be alright. I can't do it until I'm better but... it's an option..."
