[ If only she could find the way to express she truly wishes to leave with him on her own. She would not have him doubting her fondness and love if she can help it. Yes, they are strangers, but she also knows she cannot go back to the life she has had in the cave. Not without feeling as if a part of her will never return. The mere idea of him leaving once more causes her to tense in his arms and for a moment she clings to him. Only once he goes slack in her hold does she too relax, easing into the notion that he will not leave her behind. ]

Yes, you are my love... m-my one and only in any life.

[ Lantaa tilts her head slightly. Her gaze softens into a loving gaze. ] There are, but, what you need is nourishment in order to return your strength. They will only sate your thirst, but, not replenish what you need. The amount you would need.. i-it... there would be so many, and it would pull unwanted attention. We both know this. [ She smiles at him then and lovingly nudges his nose again. ] Trust me, my love. You won't hurt me.

[ She gently pulls him close once more to rest his forehead to hers. Her eyes meet his, demanding all his attention to be on her. With a few more strokes to his hair, Lantaa removes one hand from his hair to cup his cheek, then trail her fingers down his jawline. Part of her worries that by doing this it may push her away. That by attending to his needs, he will dismiss her and decide that she truly is best left in her cave alone. After a moment she swallows before her ears stand on end and offers one more smile. ]

Aymeric. [ His name is said with an alluring tone to garner all of his attention. Even the side that he represses with all his might. Lantaa pulls him closer to lure him further into her gaze. Her fingers brush over his lips as her eyes seem to glow. ] My love. I know, you're hungry, and that you need something you deny yourself of. I promise to help you however you chose ... but for now you need to let me help you.

Will you?
