Everything that came out of the elf’s mouth was pure sentiment, striking at the very heart of who she was. Never had she thought she deserved such love…such loyalty. Her purpose in Jaedaxia had always been dictated for her, much like another young woman she had recently been introduced to.
But what she was slowly beginning to realize is that sometimes, life just gifted you with things. She suspected that it was some sort of divine reward for choosing the correct path in life but whatever –was- responsible, she was utterly grateful. Precious little had come along in her life to make her happy, deferring to duty and responsibility instead…having to look over the welfare of others…sometimes without them even knowing she was doing so.
It was a thankless task at best.
Nuzzling her face softly against his, she leaned forward and kissed him again, letting herself relax against him and enjoy their closeness. Their had always been something about Ci’aran that made her feel loved…safe…even when she didn’t know that she would fall in love with him. Those emotions so early in a relationship…or fast even….were very frightening…especially to someone not prepared to deal with them…but it hadn’t felt that way to her. Everything about them felt….natural….
…as if it was always intended to be that way.
Caressing his face softly, she smiled, still tightly wrapped up in his arms.
“Anything else you wish to ask me?”
