As vexing as this injury had been, it had actually brought some good to his life. She had been the one to find him and bring him to help. And then that night between them had occurred. He could still feel the shock that had run through him when she had kissed him. That had been so unexpected. Really everything about that night had been. He couldn't remember if there had ever been another instance where he had removed his eyewrap for someone. No, there hadn't been. Everyone was afraid of those dark pools that lingered behind the mask, even she had for a few moments. Yet she had overcome it and they had connected on a level that he had never connected with anyone before.
The warmth in his chest grew even more at her words. Onus had also been afraid things might have changed for her since that night. That she had decided it had been some sort of fluke. He wouldn't have minded staying in a platonic friendship with her, but to know that she also had those feelings reassured him. As her mind had thought about him, so had his thought of her. Healing alone in the city had given the man much more idle time than he was used to. When he had nothing to do with his body, he retreated into the comfort of his mind. He had even taken up reading a few books to help pass the time. But at night when he would lay down to sleep his side felt empty and cold without her presence. In his dreams many times he had pictured her beautiful, serene face.
Onus squeezed her hand, glad that she would be willing to accept his help if she ever needed it. Now that he had someone that he felt close to the thought of losing her made his chest ache. He was thankful that she was such a proficient warrior. The presence of Corvus in the lands made him even more on edge now however. There was more to fight for than just good and justice in that battle now. He would fight for her, to keep her safe and rid her life of the nightmares he inflicted upon her. Cwmfen's hand under his coat and the way her nose brushed against his neck made his skin tingle. Veiled eyes looked down into her's at her question. He had hoped that she would have some time to spend with him, the whole day was more than he had hoped for. "Yes. I would like that." His tail slowly flicked at his heels, the first time he recalled it moving in such a manor.
