Hesitantly he smiled at Selene as she accepted his apology. Things were so easy around her, never having to worry that she would go and strike him. The more time they spent together the less the vision of Selene turning into someone like Amy struck him. He could still see it there, in her delicate form and fine breeding, the way that she talked sometimes, that she could be someone like Amy, powerful and commanding. It was simple choice that kept her from taking that step. Hadley had smelled Amy on Selene when she'd come back from the city, sending him scurrying under the bed. It had taken a lot of patience to talk him back out, and Hadley had decided to ignore the bottle that he knew came from the merchant.
The gentleness was clear for him to see this morning though, the last image of his nightmare where he was the one hurting her shaking his mind. He looked away, thinking that perhaps if they weren't so close it would never happen. He would never find himself hurting her. Afraid that he would become what he feared Hadley's hand gently enclosed around the pendant, trying to use it to keep himself as he was. A sleepy yawn had the hybrid turning to study the tiny female. Surprise filled his eyes at his words. Go somewhere? He couldn't imagine anywhere they would go. The springs?
