She didn't even know how to express what she felt. She felt...
violated. Stripped of her freedom. She was shaking badly, crying
into his side. "I can't- I can't let this go on any longer...! I
have to die now if we have any chance of stopping him... I'm the
reason he's doing all this-"

"Hey, hey. Let's make a deal, okay? 7 days. that's all I ask of
you. 1 more week. Then, I promise you'll be out of here. okay? Can
you do that for me?"
He ran a hand through her hair, whispering softly.
She quieted down, looking up at him with big, watery eyes. His
presence was so comforting, it was hard to say no. So she nodded
slowly, hiccuping and leaning into his touch. "T-Thank you... so
much..."

She shifted around until she was straddling his lap, placing her
hands on his shoulders for support. She smiled brightly, leaning up
and kissing his cheek. "You're an amazing person, Kendo. Don't let
anyone- even yourself- believe otherwise."

She giggled, leaning in again to nuzzle her cheek into the crook of
his neck, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "Kendo...~" She
sang his name, seeming to have finally calmed down, along with the
raging storm outside.

She let herself be pushed away for a moment, but took his hands in
her own, intertwining them together. "You didn't have to go through
all this just for me... Why do you decide to keep coming to visit
me?"

Iteral slowly started to calm down, at least... her heartbeat went
down a little and her pupils became normal. It took a bit of time
but soon, she was able to talk. "Sela, I..." She whispered, gasping
for air. All this shallow breathing left her with no air to speak,
but she did her best. "I'm sorry. Didn't mean to." Her voice
sounded not just exhausted, it was like she could barely talk at
all. "Can't move... paralyzed..."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
She shook her head, smile growing wider. "Not at all... You look
adorable when you blush." She moved her hands to his cheeks,
tilting her head slightly.

"Hey- it's okay, I'm not going to hurt you..." She kept an
empathetic expression, placing one hand on his chest and the other
on the back of his head. "No need to be scared or uncomfortable...
If you don't like my touch, it's okay."

"Are you sure?" She stopped trying to tease him. "Kendo... If
you're feeling any type of negative feeling, I'll be here to
listen. You've always seemed so tense, like there's something you
don't want to know, but it's always in your mind." She brought her
hand that was previously on the back of his head to pet his hair,
making sure she didn't move to quickly or scare him. "I wish I
could do more for you, but at least I'll be here to listen. I want
to understand your emotions."

"How are you paralyzed? Stop acting like a fool and get up, we have
important things to do." Selaphiel closed the umbrella and walked
back inside. "Odd, I don't think my tea arrived yet."
