"Oh, Callista," he said feeling something in the vicinity of his chest begin to melt. "Please don't say such things. That's not how I see you at all, look in my mind - see what I truly believe. I respect you, I admire you, I care for you - I don't want to do anything to harm you, not now, not ever..."

Callista blinked up at him. "But..." She merged her mind with his and stared up at him. "You really feel that way..." She half smiled. "Can I still hug you? You make all the bad things go away."

"Then at least my magic is good for something," he said softly resting his chin on her head.

"Your magic is always good for stuff. It saved us from that vampire last time. I don't even know what all you can do, actually. You'll have to tell me someday."

"And thanks to me, you get to use those spells." She smiled. "You use them on yourself, to protect you, don't you?"

"At first I thought I was learning them so that I could protect me mother, make her proud of me, then I thought to protect Synne and Rowena as they became my family, and once I found you - that was all I thought of," he said quietly. "But I don't often worry to protect myself."
