She tilted her head slightly, a smile forming on her face. [b]"What do I do? Well..."[/b] She began slowly, her head bent in such a way that it almost looked broken. [b]"When the promise is made, we seal the deal in blood and you give me a name. From that moment, I will become whatever it is you need the most, be it a friend, a lover, whatever. I will become it. I will be human..."[/b] She explained, the smile fading. She hated explaining everything. It was so taxing and... boring. [b]"For the promise..."[/b] She began again, looking up at him with her sharp black eyes. [b]"I promise to protect you to the best of my ability. I will not let you die. I will always be what you need, and I will always be there for you. I will never turn my back on you and I will never leave you."[/b] She explained, her crooked smile growing a bit more genuine. [b]"All that you must promise, is the same. Will you, in return, protect me from harm? Never let me die? Be there for me?"[/b] She asked, lifting her head up at him. [b]"Promise that, and the deal is done."[/b] She told him, crossing her arms like a small child.
