His eyes matched that intensity as he gazed deep into the windows of her soul. As painful as it was, he knew they needed to get out of the cold and get back to the castle. Claude didn't know Roman had been found yet, but they'd need to call off the search before it got dark, and also find out all they could of the enchantress. Her dark magics were very strong, and they would need to know more of what they'd be up against. "We need to get back to the castle, it's not safe out here" he whispered to her as he slowly broke their embrace. Still holding her close, but they now had mobility to leave the woods.<br/><br/>So many thought razed Claude's mind as they stood there, it felt like a blissful eternity. His fears and doubts were fading quickly, and new bold and forward fire burned in him.
