Welcome to Gaia! ::

Valor had been there, and he knew what horrors sleep could hold, but for some reason, since he knew the doctor couldn't find her tonight, he advocated her resting. He took her by the shoulders and pushed her back, then covered her up in the thick comforter. "I'll be here when here when you wake." he promised.

Valor gave into temptation, seeking refuge in her company and slid into the bed beside her, only slightly brushing skin with her. He was asleep in a moment, but he dreampt of his father stealing his new friend away and around 8 am jolted straight up with a yell " NO!" he screamed panting in a cold sweat holding his head.

He had o look at her, to calm down, he had to see her face. It was like a striking releif. Valor had always had nothing, because Fredrick had always taken it away from him. He equated Amanda with the sock monky he had as a child. He'd loved it and hidden it, but Fredrick found it, he always found the things he'd tried to hide, and so he knew he'd have to step up his game to hide Amanda. She could hurt... and therefore it was up to him to prevent that. His arms slipped around her in a tigt hug as he silently vowed to himself. I will never let that happen. He touched her hair. "We wont stay here long... it's too close to where he knows I search. I'm taking you to Basil... tomorrow." he said with resolve.

Valor was deep in thought, making plans for the move. He could probably sell this place for good money, and he'd had quite a sum built up from doing bounties on the side. Now he had something worthwhile to spend it on, it wasn't a practical ordeal anymore. "Do you like balconies?" he asked leaning back with her ontop of him, so he could stretch out his back without letting go. She was so... dainty. it wa almost a foreign concept to him that she was so small and pretty... blue was his favorite color.

The closeness was new to Valor as well, but didn't blush. His mind was focused on choing a home suitable. "How about bay windows? And a garden..." he asked narrowing the list in his mind to find the one he thought she'd like best. "Or anything else... what do you like?" he asked absently playing in her hair.

He begant to thinkk as well... then it hit him. " The Hallow village is very old, and has everything except the ocean... and with all of the lycan's and vampires running around there nobody would think down on you... I like that you're blue." he said as an after thought. " and my father wont go there. He's wanted in the area and wouldn't chance it... not for you or me... maybe 67121.. but not us." he said confidently.. then he noticed her blush "am I making you uncomfortable?" he asked nervously.

He nodded and pulled up the covers to keep warm.... it was all so strange to be looking after something again, but he leaned in and kisses her forehead gently, and closed his eyes relaxing. Relxing... that wasn't something he did often. He'd go to take her to Hollow Village tomorrow morning and settle her in, then it was faking his own death and removing the tatoos... he knew it was going to hurt, but he figured it was better from him trying to make her suffer as little as possible than it was from his father's cruelties. At least he'd only have to do it once, then she'd never hurt again and she'd be happy... maybe even happy with him. He began contimplating the idea of being cared for... even loved. Nobody had ever.... even tried to care for him before... he'd thought up until now that he was unloveable and would always be. However, this new addition to his little world was so... wonderful. It had him thinking... maybe... just maybe... she loved freedom anough to love the person who gave it to her... maybe he loved her? How could he know? It all seemed so simple, they snuggled and relaxed like people in love, but it was so complicated, perhaps she was merely afraid of him and was waiting for him to make a wrong move and leave... that thought made his heart jolt and shatter, and she squinted his eyes in pain. He reached his other arm over to hold her and tightened his hold some careful not to make it painful, swollowing hard. "please... don't hate me... and don't leave..." he said to her his voice soft and helpless.
