Ruinil could feel the scars that were etched into Bartuc's body filling her with grief. "you protected me and yet you were hurt on my account.... I shall never ask such a thing from you as long as I live... I cannot bring myself to watch you suffer..." She murmured, her warm tears stained Bartuc's shirt.

Her confusion only grew as he admitted his feelings of love to her. She was unable to understand or rather she couldn't understand as to how or why this man could love a beast in human form, such as herself. She so desperately wanted to run away far, far from here and herself until she disappeared forever. Yet there she stood, unable to move and her body betray her as it forced herself to listen to every word. What Ruinil felt was like torture. Perhaps it was because she knew she would outlive Bartuc, that his life was just but a brief and fleeting moment. 

After her hand being placed upon Bartuc's heart and listening to his words she spoke softly, "How could anyone love a creature such as me? I am an abomination, a child of the devil, how could another creature love me? And yet you claim to love me. I am afraid... So afraid... Afraid of losing you and afraid of loving you... And yet I find myself to be unbearably happy and unable to run away.... I do not understand love... But it appears I do not understand myself even more..." She paused hesitantly before she continued. "Please.... Please promise me that if I die before you, that upon death you drink my blood... You must drink as much of it as you can... In doing so, you will obtain my strength, my senses, my speed and my lifetime... That way you shall be given more time to find a maiden whom is more worthy and can take my place, understand? Please do this for me and I shall be able to die peacefully." Her words seemed cruel to Bartuc but they held the same love he felt towards her, and it was the only way she could properly express her feelings to him.
