[color=0054a6]“Miss Eilis. I cannot make that promise.” He took a slow calculated breath. “However, I promise you this at the risk of my soul. Should any, Belisian or Viemese, ever dare to bring harm to you in any way, that will be their last. I promise you will never be taken or made to do something you do not wish. Your life is much too precious to end it in such a manner. However, the lives of any who would dare to bring such pain to you deserve to be extinguished.”[/color] She heard his words immediately felt the change in him. She felt the heat rise up through his skin it growing from comforting warm to unbearably hot. Still she remained silent as she kept holding his hand looking towards him with worry knowing the anger and resentment all too well. But she also knew that such things would ultimately break you if you did not let them out once in a while. As Arn apologized for the possible discomfort he might have brought her, she couldn't help but wonder why he cared so much for a measly foolish scarecrow like her. To pull him from his negativity she laughed, probably confusing him even more. [color=f49ac2]"I can feel your anger Arn, it is running through your skin. Seeking a way out. You should let it pass, after all you don't want to burst."[/color] She cast a warm smile towards him again as her eyes filled with emotion and memory. [color=f49ac2]"What has past is past. You may wish to wind back the clock but cannot change what has occurred after all. There are prices paid, changes made and lifes forged from them. Don't blame the decisions and actions of yourself or those that feed their own innerwolves too much."[/color] Her hand that still held his loosened her grip a bit so her thumb could stroke over his fingers. [color=f49ac2]"Getting mad at it serves no purpose. It feeds the other half of you. Chaos, Pride, Loathing and Anger. Don't feed that wolf. For it in turn will eventually consume you."[/color] She stirred from her position, throwing her legs over the side of the bed so she could turn to him completely as her legs not quite reached the floor. Sitting accross from him she steadied herself for a moment before her hands moved up, reaching out to 'feel' him. She followed the hand up over the arm to his shoulder before finding his face. Gently her fingers moved over cheek and brow, following the contour of his face till she reached his lips and jawline. [color=f49ac2]"Listen to me Arn and listen well."[/color] She uttered softly. "[color=f49ac2]We are all shaped by our own experiences, whether good or bad they are Life's lessons for us even if they are terrible ones to learn. Whilst I don't know what kind of past has shaped you, let me tell you what I can see from our conversation..."[/color] She said before she silenced him by placing a couple of gentle fingers on his mouth. [color=f49ac2]"You burn brightly in my mind, you're a good man aiding me and offering your protection without even considering the fact that I am an enemy. I don't know what grace was given me when they made you cross my path, but I am grateful for it nevertheless."[/color] She pulled her hand back after she said this before she closed her eyes. [color=f49ac2]"It is something from a storybook. You're my fairytale knight, swearing your fealty to me without a thought to yourself..."[/color] She opened her eyes slightly disappointed she still couldn't see what he looked like. [color=f49ac2]"But if you are so keen on doing that, then I order you to value yourself."[/color] She spoke with a certain resolution as she moved from the bed completely, trying to stand on her own two feet, whilst holding onto Arn. She wobbled a bit unstable, looking down out of habit, rather than actually seeing what she was doing. She held onto him more tightly as she stabilized before she gave him a wide smile. [color=f49ac2]"Well it's a start..."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"You seem familiar."[/color] A curious voice spoke up coming from the opposite side of the hallway, as Tyrhallan approached Toby and closed the distance to the door, observing the young man. He tried to place him. [color=ed1c24] "You know Sir Arn..."[/color] He said as he nodded towards the piece of armour Toby was holding in his hands. He recognised it as the Mage's armour. With a silent nod of his head towards the door he followed up with his question. [color=ed1c24]"How are they?"[/color] He asked peering in through the window and observed the unusual sight. Taken aback for a second a misschievous glint appeared in his eyes and with a wink he brushed past Toby. [color=ed1c24]"I believe the two of you should be in your own beds, resting."[/color] He scolded as he opened the door as smirk was plastered on his face. [color=ed1c24]"Though it is good to see you both awake and in good spirits. It almost makes the scolding I took from the doctor feel worth it."[/color] He teased as he remained near the doorway, not wanting to force his way in and frighten the girl further. As he noticed the young lady almost instantaneously jumped into the safety of the mage's arms.
