Anna gasped a bit when he grabbed her so suddenly, wrapping his arms around her torso.  She could feel his breath against her skin and his heart pumping rapidly as he held her.  Anna's cheeks turned red as he asked her if she would still want to help.   She paused to think about his words.  "I want to hear it...I want to know how I can help..." She said quietly, her hands resting over his.<br/><br/>Despite her initial fear of him, his touch made it melt away quickly.  Why didn't she feel afraid of him right now?  Why was she so willin to help him when she could feel the intent of his request.  She felt her cheeks calm down and return to their natural shade.  She was suddenly washed by a wave of calmness as his warm breath rested against her neck.<br/><br/>His heartbeat was growing rapidly as his grip grew a bit tighter around her.   Whether she liked it or not, he was going to make her listen to what he had to say at the very least.    Anna stayed silent as her eyes watched the bleak dark room, waiting for an answer.   The position he was holding her in was actually quite comfortable.  She felt safe while she was near his presence, which was a bit strange.    How interesting, that Armas had actually grown on her as a person.
