Hector answered the question by silently bringing her a bit closer. Butterflies built up in his stomach as they stood close, nothing else to hide behind. They only had each other to focus on, the nature drifting away, replaced by her facial features, her eyes, her hair. It was a pleasant substitute. He gave her hand as gentle squeeze not sure if she wanted to go in for a kiss or not (I gave him a confidence boost XD)
Luna asked softly, her eyes still focused on his, “Why dont you hate me? Why don’t you kill me, shouldn’t you hate me?” This is how she knew he wasn’t a jerk. Luna added softly, sincerity flooding her voice, “Why dont I hate you? When everyone tells me I should.”
(Much needed XD)
River stared into his eyes. "Stephen?" She paused, allowing herself to think. "I`m not exactly shocked." She said blandly. "They seemed like sorta friends before Horius was banished. I`m not really against that they saw each other, I know if one of my friends was banished from here I would go see them, but they can`t just go around killing people." She paused again, waiting to see if he had any thoughts before she went on.
Hector closed his eyes as he too kissed her. Once they opened, a flood of emotions began raging in his body, as he gazed upon her some more. He simply held her hands and reassured himself multiple times this was something he wanted. Suddenly, he whispered earnestly “You’re so beautiful, standing there in the sunlight, you know that?”
Xylo listened to her as she spoke. He had the uttermost respect for his partner, and held her opinions just as highly as his. Once she finished, he replied “I see you were going to say something else. Keep on going, I’ll say my thoughts after.”
Persepolis blushed, deeply moved by his compliment. She asked, more confident around him now, "Really? Thank you." Persepolis had never been called beautiful in this sense by anyone in her life before, and it was new feeling to her; a good one. She admitted quietly, "I've never been called beautiful in a sincere way like this before." She smiled softly.
River shrugged. "I was actually hoping you would say what you thought. But we diffidently need to talk to Stephen."
Hector continued in a soft manner, his confidence in place now, continuing “Well then you haven’t met very sincere people. Because I find it to be the truth.” He held her hand softly, offering a considerate smile as he looked at her eyes once again, losing himself in her beautiful eyes once again.
Xylo responded “I agree. We definitely have to talk to him. And we need to make sure he doesn’t do something like that ever again.” He muttered somewhat irritated “This is why the hunters keep hunting us.” He shook his head in disdain, before adding “But Luna said he was very defensive about it, so we have to patient.” He ended the sentence by finding himself staring at her stomach again, sort of entranced by the fact she was carrying his baby. He suddenly blurred out “I love you. So much.”, his eyes meeting hers, not caring that he had broken the conversation. He wanted her to know it again.
