[ While he has found a goal--a purpose--she has not. Is living a life simply to be at the side of the one a person loves truly enough? He is a knight with a people and a home to fight for, even if she had not been added into the equation. All she supposes she has is herself and the familiar she promised to look after. The two had been fine in their cave, but, Lantaa now knows it had not been truly fine. ]
I... I thought it would be best if you left... w-with your friend. Because of me. But, now, I... [ Lantaa shakes her head ever so slightly. She does not wish to be parted from him now. They both know who each other is, and, seemingly are rediscovering how they have always been comfortable with one another. ] I don't believe that would have been the best choice.
[ She has every intention of continuing until she feels him shift against her hand. Lantaa tilts her head back, eyebrows knitted ever so slightly at him. His words are not overshadowed or even dismissed. However, she can sense something recoils. A shift happened along his akasha. Very subtle, and perhaps none else might not notice besides her and her familiar. Yet, she has noticed it. Uncertainty... of her? Despite what he says?
She shifts against him once more, intending to bring herself onto even sitting. Despite their heighten emotions, Lantaa has not forgotten about the wound on his back, and refuses to place him onto it. The opal in her hand disappears once more so she might rest her hands on either side of his face. If he is to make a vow to her, then he deserves one in return. One that she hopes will reach the entirety of him as both the knight and the soul she loves. ]
Aymeric. [ Her hushed tone remains, but seems paired now with a stronger sound of resolute. Accompanying the tone is a look in her slightly red tinted eyes. One that certainly reaches out to not only garner the attention of the knight and the vampire, but his very soul. The name of that soul may be lost to time for now, but she feels confident that she can capture his whole attention. ] My love.
[ Her hands guide him to rest his forehead to hers once more. A sweet smile touches her face. It blossoms into one brimmed with love and desire of all forms. She wishes to please him in any way he seeks it: holding her, intertwining their hands, bringing them together intimately. Whatever he needs to be whole and healed from what this life and all others have done? She will see to it. No amount of fear or stammering will ultimately stop her, even if she stumbles now and again. ]
If you vow to protect me? Then I vow to care for you. All of you; every piece of you. It does not matter if it is the knight, the vampire, or the soul I have loved in all my lives. [ Has she made this vow before? It feels as if she has. ] Your needs, however they may arise, will be met. So, please...
[ She gently nudges his nose as her ears remain firmly to the sides of her head. The red tint may remain in the color of her eyes, but she hopes all sides of him might see her reaching out to him. ]
Please know that anything I do for you is because I wish to. Even... even if it seems it is only because of what abilities this life has laid on you with your nature? I wish to do these things. [ The loving smile remains on her face as she kisses the side of his mouth once more. ] Even if I need your help to be brave enough to do what I wish to. Everything is because I wish to.
[ Lantaa gently brushes her lips over his once more in hopes that he, in his entirety, will follow with what they both wish. Not out of a vow or promise to her, or shrinking away because he feels he has made her. She, as Lantaa and his ancient soulmate, wishes nothing more than to be with him and love him. ]
So, my love. What do you wish for? Tell me, and I'll grant it.
