The young man fell forward and cried out, looking up at him. "<span style="color: #80FF00">What's the twist? Her falling in love with you?</span>" He groaned and cried out when he rolled over. "<span style="color: #80FF00">Or you falling in love with her?</span>" he asked and smirked up at the man who'd just taken his legs out from under him.  He was laying there panting and and then laughed a little. "<span style="color: #80FF00">It's funny, you know? I fell in love with her the moment she served me a meal in the tavern. That's when I decided to set up residence in the village so that I might win her over and make her my wife. She'd bear my children and we'd be happy...As it turns out, she was in love with you and that's why she rejected me.</span>"<br/><br/>Vincent was delirious. "<span style="color: #80FF00">I'd take her now if I had the chance. Just to feel her once. I guarantee though, she'd be with my child after one night.</span>" he laughed and looked over at her. She was standing by the tree and hugging herself and looking like little wet kitten. She was adorable, but pitiful.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #BF00BF">Alec...I- I want to go home..</span>" she said softly. "<span style="color: #BF00BF">Don't kill him, though...Please?</span>" she asked, her voice like silk if it had a sound. Her request wasn't unreasonable, but she did want to go back to the castle to change and get warm again. She was quite petite after all.
