"WHAT the hell? You tricked me? WHY? I need a damn good reason, now!"
i needed money.....sobbing.... i just wanted money!
"Money?! Why would you involve me in something as mundane as money? You could have just asked me for it!"
I WAS SCARED TO ASK YOU because you scare me!
"Wait...you were scared of me? Why? What did I do that made you fear me?"
you're so intimidating! you're always yelling and judging everyone. I thought if I asked you for anything you would only deny me.
"Oh, come on! You've got me all wrong. I may be intense, but that doesn't mean I'm heartless. I could have helped you without thinking twice."
"I didn't know that though. I thought you were just a meanie who only cared about himself."
"Well, how can I prove to you that I'm not that kind of person? What can I do to make it up to you?"
"Of course, take whatever time you need. Just know that I'll be there for you when you're ready. I won't let you face this alone."
rests for a couple of weeks then meets zeph again
smiles warmly "I'm glad to see you again. How are you feeling?"
better but still weak. my injury hasn't fully healed yet.
places a gentle hand on Puppyle's shoulder "Take your time, love. I'm here for you, every step of the way.
blushes at the pet name thank you, zeph
kisses Puppyle softly "You don't have to thank me. I'll always be here for you. And remember, no matter what happens, I love you."
blushes furiously at the kiss o-okay.
"Now that you're on the mend, let's talk about your future. We need to come up with a plan to ensure your safety and security from now on."
"First things first, we need to strengthen your defenses. I'll assign some of my most trusted guards to watch over you and protect you at all times.
okay...but idk if that is necessary or even possible shakes head I'm fine as long as im with you
"I understand your concerns, love. But I can't bear the thought of anything happening to you. It's my duty to protect you, whether you like it or not."
I'd rather die than be without you though. But if it makes you feel better i'll let you have your guards
leans in, his voice filled with determination "Absolutely not. I won't have anyone other than me protecting you.
closes mouth I respect your wishes. So do you want me to meet you downstairs or stay here?
"Stay here, my love. I'll be right back." Zephoniel leaves the room and returns a moment later with a tray filled with freshly made cookies
Oh wow....how'd you do that?
"Ah, my secret power. A little bit of magic never hurt anyone." smirks playfully "Now, try one. They're freshly baked, just for you."
"I'm glad you like them, love. Now, let's get down to business. We need to establish a secure communication system so we can stay in touch no matter what happens."
i hate using the phone, i prefer to talk face to face. Or at least send letters.
"I understand your preference, love. But given the circumstances, it's best if we have a secure and discreet way of communicating.
you have such a sweet tooth giggles softly
"Sweet tooth or not, I can't resist indulging in the things that bring me pleasure. And you, my love, bring me pleasure in more ways than one.
