surrounded by your embrace

-chews saulin-

He could see the confusion on her face, the glazed look in her eyes that spoke of pain and bewilderment. It twisted his gut painfully to think of his sweet belle in pain, but he also knew that he was doing something about it. The bundle of herbs was met with a bloodied tongue before taken into her mouth and chewed. It would taste nasty, but she didn't seem to complain about it. The occasional swallow of herb infused saliva was given, but otherwise she remained silent. And Saul wasn't going to break the peace by chastising her- aside from the fact that there was no point, it wouldn't help any with the headache and confusion he was certain she was feeling. Instead, he sat next to the bed, facing her and running a hand rhythmatically over her forehead, pushing the curls from her face to have them spring back once more.

The rough edge to her voice as she spoke caused him to look down sharply into her eyes. It was a shock to hear Lilin admit that she'd been wrong, but he supposed the hit to the head might have shaken things up in there. He couldn't help the humourless snort that came from him as he nodded almost absently. "Yes, you should have waited." He cooed softly, his agreement enough of a chastisement for one day. It was only then that he realised she'd managed to swallow the whole bundle- her eyes were looking a little clearer to say the least. He felt he could breath a sigh of relief in that moment, the weight of her head injury weighing heavily on him.

With this weight lifted from his shoulders, he allowed this new and foreign emotion to swell in him. He had been terrified of what had happened to her, whether she was going to live. The thought of Lilin dying made him want to wretch until the thought was purged from his body. Aside from the terror he'd felt. the anger coursing through his body was like nothing he'd felt before in his life and that scared him too. The intensity of what he was feeling, in that very moment and when he'd first caught sight of her dropping to the ground nearly overwhelmed him and he gave one chocking sob against the bed. He opened his mouth to apologise, but his mind seemed to have other ideas. "I love you, Lilin... so so much." He spoke softly despite the intensity of his words, green eyes looking into blue- he'd lost the ability to look away from her a long while ago. Tears brimmed and fell silently, his overactive brain throwing him so many images of what could have been. He almost didn't notice that he'd just told his belle that he loved her.
