Raylin listened to him. Understanding slowly. These words he said was what he needed to hear. That it hadn't been because of him that they were said. That he wasn't trying to sound so mean. He went to reach forward to hug Azrial but shyly stopped. He didn't know how such a touch would be received. He smiled fondly at Azrial. Sure they hadn't known each other long but he felt a lifelong connection to Azrial as if they had known each other for years instead of just days. He felt the warmth in his mind and heart. He made him flush with a bit of happiness. He liked that feeling. Shivering as he felt the feelings caused by Azrial touching the scar he had placed on him. Leaning instinctively into the gentle touch.<br/><br/>"I placed a scar on you?" He asked curiously. Not understanding how that was possible. A hand resting over Azrial's as he rubbed the scar. Listening as Azrial explained it to him. His eyes rising up and listening to him talking. He nodded his head. Understanding and slowly shyly slipped into the water with Azrial. Very shyly as he hadn't done something like this before. Listening to him as he spoke. He nodded his head. Getting closer shyly and wrapped his arms lightly around Azrial's neck. Pressing into the warmth and security he felt when touch Azrial. "No...I want you to stay with me. So I can feel safe and warm and loved." He said. Holding onto him tighter. Their forms pressed in close so their scars were touching each other and the baby bump was rubbing against Azrial. "Please...don't ever leave me." He said. Nuzzling Azrial shyly.<br/><br/>"I feel...whole. Loved and protected on a different level than I have ever felt before." He pressed in closer til he couldn't get any closer. "I feel shy but I feel brave too." He whispered. "I feel empty when you are not around. Please stay close. I know you'll have stuff to do and what not but when possible I'd like to come with you. I'll show you the shrines that dragons can take stuff from for the hoard. Please...let me help you. Let me learn to understand your culture while I help you learn to understand mine. Just pants. Nothing else. Just pants when we are outside the bedroom. It is required to be partily garbed at least outside of your personal area in the castle." He explained. He nuzzles the dragon he was falling deeply in love with. "Thank you...for making me feel better." He said. Holding onto him tightly.
