He blinked with surprise when she turned and faced him. She might notice his strong chisled features, even in the dark. How his silvery hair lined his strong jaw, which currently had some stubble on it, and his dark eyes peered at her in curiosity. His body was strong, tough, though in this form, he was smaller than Gaston. But not even Gaston was bigger than him in his beast form. Silently he moved a bit of her hair out of her face, trying to see how she would react.<br/><br/>Her question took him off guard, making him blink quickly and stare in surprise. There were a lot of things other people might take this question as, but there was just one for him. He let out a little sigh, sitting up and looking ahead. "You want to know why I forced your father to hand you over to me..." He combed a hand through his hair absentmindedly, trying to think of an answer. "...You see... it's very lonely here.... I have my servants, but they were able to find someone to care for..." He stopped his thoughts then and there, he didn't want her to know he wished for her to care for him, and vice versa.
