Lucien had no doubt in Faolan's words. He knew that the Irishman would do everything in his power to keep them safe... but it was not himself that he was worried about. Faolan had told him on multiple occasions that he was always too concerned for other people to worry about himself, and he wasn't wrong.. but in these kinds of circumstances Faolan was the same. He was worried that he would be too concerned with protecting him that he might not look out for himself. [color=burlywood]"Faolan.. it's not me I'm worried about. I know you would never let that happen.. but I need you to understand that I'm not that same man you met on that boat years ago."[/color] He slipped one of his hands out of Faolan's grasp, and reached out to place a hand on his cheek. [color=burlywood]"I know that I have never been a fan of violence, but know that I would never let anyone hurt you. I am invulnerable to anything those humans could do to me.. but you are not. Promise me that you will also take care of yourself.. because I don't want to lose you.."[/color] He gently moved his hand toward his neck, and pulled Faolan closer to him, gently touching their foreheads together. [color=burlywood]"I will also do everything in my power to protect you. I'll be as careful as I have to be, I won't let ourselves be discovered, I promise. I don't want to lose this either."[/color] His tone was gentle, but filled with determination. If he had to barrier Faolan to protect him and fly him away from danger, he'd do it. He didn't care if his own secret was discovered in the process, he'd do whatever he had to to make sure that Faolan would be safe.
