Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm sorry." The apology slipped Tryston's lips as the woman leaned against his shoulder. With the threat of others being outside still the man decided to stay in place. It was hard though to not notice how close he was to Constynce...but survival came first. Shoving away any unnecessary thoughts Tryston closed his eyes as he listened, "Just a little longer..." He breathed as he tried to use his other senses to survey the area around them.

As Constynce reached up to hug his neck Tryston froze before slowly, ever so slowly, resting his arms around her waist, "We'll be okay. Don't worry I'm here to protect you." Not much of one for talking the words still slipped from his lips as they rested there. Even though Constynce had nearly been killed before him just having her in his arms like this was a relief to Tryston. He could keep her safe as long as he could see her and be here like this. Being separated while knowing she had been living with that foul man only sent more knots into his stomach.

And then maybe...once they moved out and got through Zena and through this then perhaps he could even sort through exactly why he was so protective of this woman resting in his arms.

Tryston nodded silently as he kept hold of Constynce. They would wait here for a while and as time passed the swordsman would go survey the area one last time. When it was proven safe then he would take his companion and they would begin their journey back to the mountains of Zena.
