Gene
He snickered a bit at the Nickname
"Of course love, but if you could, maybe... Tone it down a bit with the Nicknames? I'm not really sure I like being called... 'bear' all the time"

He shrugged a bit, he didn't seen mad but was still making his stance known nonetheless.
Brenda
She shrugged. " You are a big man on every level. And you probably have some giants blood at least somewhere in your line because Even by the standards of other nords your built . Perhaps another time in place and another life you might have been someone they would have picked to be the bodyguard of a jarl or The first man to lead the charge in a siege during the war. And I don't mean anything bad by it either I love the way you look. You look like life gave you that body more than the gods did "
Gene
"I understand, but at the same time.
Being cursed with turning into a monstrous beast, being associated with one even in my regular state is... A little disheartening... Is all"
Brenda
"Oh... But you know I don't think if you like that at all. I don't think you're a monster at all just because you can turn in to something like one doesn't mean you are 1 at least not to me. You know that it doesn't matter to me why are you getting so upset? I mean I know we're still getting to know each other but you should at least know by now that it doesn't bother me I already told you. It doesn't bother me. Are you doubting me? I already said I want to be with you and It doesn't matter that you can change forms. It can bother other people but it doesn't bother me so pretend that it doesn't "
Gene
"It's not about you specifically. It bothers ME, not being able to get too angry, always having to hold my temper, never being able to get a good night's sleep because you feel restless, like there's something constantly clawing at the back of my being.
Sounds and smells are so much stronger, I notice every little thing more than ever.

You have no idea what I'm going through with this, it happened so recently that I haven't even begun to understand it or even get used to it, it's still new to me"

He was a little concerned at how oddly defensive she'd gotten over him expressing his mind.
Brenda
She was silent then realizing how she had erred. She wasn't try to be defensive. Just trying to convince him that she wasn't bothered as throughly as she could. But she hadn't realized Just how badly it was eating him alive. "I didn't mean it like that. I didn't... I didn't know that it was making you suffer so. I just wanted to reassure you it didn't bother me. I... I thought it made you more unique. I'm so sorry "
