Areum's eyes widened a bit, as he reached for her hand. Areum whispered back "I like being around you. You're not evil, you care about me." She paused, before continuing a bit sorrowfully "I've been thinking, and I realized I've just been taken advantage of by my so called friends. People take advantage of my caring, except you. And that's why I've seen that you deserve my care the most. That won't change, no matter how evil you think you are. " She leaned her head into his chest, and whispered "Please Rowan. Unless this is something that you don't want. Then...you do whatever you want. I want you to be happy." She waited for an answer, her ears sensing his beating heart.
