Vance studied her. Seeing how she acted reminded him of a frightened child. Compared to him she probably was a child. Seeing as he had been around for a very, very long time. He looked at her. She had noticed his eyes changing. He would need to be careful about that. It would be dangerous to be found out as a dragon. Even though she seemed like a kind young woman it was a risk he just wasn't ready to take. Her words though made a protective growl escape his lips. "I will protect you then." He said. "I will protect you from the evils of the world. I will make sure you can feel safe anywhere." He said decisively. He listened as she continued. Nodding his head. "I have no one to call family. Not anymore....not for a very long time." He said sadly. She giggled and then commented. "I can be mean when it is necessary to do so. Normally I try to be nice. I can be tempermental due to what I am." He said simply. "Its a flaw of mine really. Were you going to do something before we ran into each other? I can help you with it if you would like." He looked at her. She had a pretty smile.<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #FF0080">Lilia looked at him and smiled tenatively. She was nervous. She wasn't sure what to do. This world was so strange. So different yet a bit similar to what she was used to. He pointed at the child and tilted her head to the side. <span style="font-style: italic">Huemun....</span> She said. <span style="font-style: italic">They all so small?</span> She asked looking at him. Following his gaze to the ground. Getting closer to him and listened. <span style="font-style: italic">Eur-th. What a strange name.</span> She said softly. He said he would protect her. That made her feel safer. She wasn't trying to be scared. This place was so strange. Things were so different from what she was used to. She didn't remember how she crash landed here just that she had. She was happy she had sensed correctly. That made her happy. Even though she was trapped on a world not her own. She moved and hugged him. Her form shaking from how nervous she was. <span style="font-style: italic">I don't understand this world. It is so strange compared to the worlds I have seen. Compared to my home world. Your eyes don't look odd to me. I like them. They look beautiful.</span> She said softly. Not letting go of him. <span style="font-style: italic">Thank you for not leaving me alone on a place I don't know or understand.</span> She shook against him. She was clearly stressed out. She held onto him for his strong support. <span style="font-style: italic">Can you help me learn to understand this place called Urth?</span></span>
