He growled a little, shaking his head. Sinka had been a parasite in this family for too long. "What's this phrase that you mentioned..?" The person that Sinka relied on most was Eztli, so maybe the other was him..? He would have to test it.<br/><br/>Nene giggled at his nip, rolling them over in the sheets so he was on top of her again. She couldn't imagine a world without his touch at this point, so it was important to her that Æsc would always remember that he was important. If he really just kept himself alive for her, that would be fine. Just so long as he was there.
