"You sure you packed enough ammo?"
narrows his eyes "No, I mean, are you sure? We can't afford any mistakes here. This stalker is relentless."
clenches his fists "Don't worry? You think that's easy after what happened last time? I should have been there for you.
takes a step closer to DragonflyWhirlwind, voice low and intense "Sorry doesn't cut it anymore. I need you to be on your guard.
places a hand on DragonflyWhirlwind's shoulder "Look, I need you to understand something.
takes a deep breath "I've been keeping something from you. Something that you need to know."
pauses, his heart pounding "I... I love you, DragonflyWhirlwind. More than just a client. More than just a friend."
stammers Y-you see, I've been trying to keep my feelings in check, you know, being your bodyguard and all. But lately, it's been harder and harder to ignore the way I feel about you.
takes a step back, conflicted "But how can you feel the same way? We're in the middle of a dangerous situation here."
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated "Tell me? Tell me? We're on the run, DragonflyWhirlwind! We don't have time for heartfelt confessions.
DragonflyWhirlwind decides to leave the safe house and go on her own to avoid further complications with Damien
grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's arm "Wait, don't go. We need to figure this out together. Running away won't solve anything."
I know Damien I say turning around I didn’t even mean to leave
takes a deep breath "Look, I know I screwed up by not telling you sooner. But I want to make it right. I want to be there for you, no matter what."
