Hearing his words made her cry even more. Part of Ruinil didn't want to hear such kindness and affection but she could help but feel happy that she heard it. She then suddenly found herself wrapped inside Bartuc's embrace, his lips pressed against hers. She found herself unable to pull away herself from him and unable stop herself from accepting Bartuc's affections. 

The experience was foreign and strange to her and yet she could not help but feel some what happy about the whole thing. The warmth and softness of Bartuc's kiss, and the tightness of his embrace made her feel safe, happy, and something else. Something she could not yet understand and was completely foreign to her. Her heart was pounding and the tips of her ears burned causing her to blush wildly. "H-he must be delusional from the injury he suffered... Yes that must be it..!" She thought silently, trying to make sense of her own emotions.
