Drakien quenched his laugh to a mere smile, wrapping his arm around her when she leaned into him and resting his head on hers again. He didn't know why he kept talking about the past when he'd always tried to simply leave it behind him before; perhaps because he'd never had anything to regret before now. But it was true his caravan was important to him, was in fact very much all he'd had for most of his life, and to have them ripped from him, made into nothing more than memories, was difficult. He was beginning to understand that he would have to move on, however, and do it quickly, before he gained more things to regret with his constant refusal to let them go.
At her offer, his smile broadened, and he held her more tightly, bending to nuzzle his head gently against hers. "It is a thing to be considered," He murmured thoughtfully, and shifted his gaze out before them, frowning thoughtfully. He still found himself troubled with how quickly this whole thing was moving, and in the end he had to sigh, squeezing her gently before leaning slightly away. "I admit I am uncomfortable with many things just now." He said quietly, and bent to nuzzle against her cheek, before leaning away, resting his hands between his knees as he drew them upward. "I would be feeling much better if we...got to know each other. More than just star-lit conversations on rainy nights." He flashed her a smile, and then paused again, his face going serious. Rushing into things had lead him to a life of wonder, he knew, among the Romani; but it had been a stupid, foolish decision, one they'd made him regret time and time again before he grew to be accepted and loved among them. He didn't want to throw something like this to chance, and he had a feeling she was being driven by a force stronger than common sense; he worried they would both one day grow to regret this. He didn't want that day to come.
