With a bit of a grin, Hamish had gawked at Kyle a couple of times during breakfast. He liked the feeling that he had when talking like that, perhaps because he realized that indeed he had spoken down to her and Hamish liked to help put Alexis' opponents in their place.<br/><br/>Regardless, he had soon found himself accompanying her on the stroll along the garden. Even had she not wished him to do so, he was supposed to be her constant guardian. He sort of had to come with her at this point.<br/><br/>"Honestly, I guess I'm married to my job of protecting you, and I suppose it would be a very difficult task to choose someone for you since you would truly have to be with them forever." He then realized that he should have probably faced the facts about his own feelings.<br/><br/>"If there were anyone I loved, then...it would be you, but you deserve a full-blooded immortal who could be at your side always, and not a weak human like myself." She looked marvelous with those flowers he had to admit.
