"You don't need to understand..." lips by her ear now, his hands roaming that soft skin before he felt a rush of relief at her healing touch.
A bit of a deeper breath now as his ribs seemed to ease up in pressure.
"I did. I had to have him see my reasoning, and I wouldn't take no for an answer. I think...there may be some common ground there, however..."
He pulls his head back to look her in the eyes.
"When I came here...I didn't know which way was up. All I knew was that I had to either try to get back to that hell that I called home, or that I could try my luck here. I got into a fight with a stone dragon from a mine. I lost pretty bad, so I wound up in Planeptune trying to find a place to recover..."
A small pause as he remembers.
"I stole a fresh set of clothes and I ran into your Mother. She saw how badly beaten I was and went to help me...but she wanted some guards to help me find a place to stay. When she went to call for them..."
His eyes keep on hers. "I couldn't have her expose me. Her actions were noble. However, I'm a bad man Compa. I couldn't go from one prison to potentially another"
Hands gripping her shoulders. "Later on when we met, your first words to me where the same ones she had first said to me. At that point I knew who you were. There's no mistaking someone so thoughtful. Innocent. I had to...have you"
He had to keep her safe. Mild repentance turned more.
"I understand of you hate me. Hit me. Stab me. Do what you think is best, but I will always be here for you"
