Overly Protective Robert™

He had hoped that he would find his comment about the tree a little humorous—the memory of their first meeting, where he helped her find her house, was what he was trying to refer to. But, it seemed that she was in too deep into whatever thought plagued her, and frowned a little when she stated that there would be no where to shelter, though Vinátta was near by. He watched as she pushed Grace forward, and felt a little shiver of surprise within him as the horse underneath him followed in the same fashion without encouragement. It seemed that the Luperci were not the only ones bothered by the ominous weather.

While a silence brewed between them, it did not last long until Eclipse spoke again. He looked back over to her as she explained the latter visits, and his grip became tighter with each word. Was the Lykoi, her brother, responsible for the nightmares she would have about her family? His blood felt thick and heated at the thought, imaging a shaded figure (His face was shadowed, for Robert lacked any imagination to picture someone he never met.) telling the woman all these things. He tried to imagine himself in her place—Nathaniel suddenly appearing, the long lost brother telling him that he had killed Bangle. What would he feel?

At the mention of stalking, Robert broke out of his imaginings and snapped his gaze up, but she was already off. There won't be an again, he thought quietly within his mind, and pressed his heels into the horse to move it to match Grace's pace. It came to him that they were visiting Eclipse's relatives; were they the same as her brother? "You know, I never heard of the Stormbringers before." Not a surprise, since he never went out, but still. "What are they... like?" After hearing Eclipse's story, it already set uneasy feelings within him, unaware of the truth.
