Azrial didnâ€™t think this agreement was correct but he understood why Ricardo was backing down in the manner he was. Azrial didnâ€™t feel the pride he usually did from a fight but instead he felt silent contentment. His lips gave a heavy sigh as he changed bak in time to see the tear rolling down Rayâ€™s face he frowned and looked to Ray with a kind face smiling back in his unclothed human form. His wounds already healing besides his eye. His hand gently kissed the tear away and looked to Ray sqwatting down so they were eye level, a hand over his left eye to hide its damage. â€œRay, its ok. I wasnâ€™t going to kill himâ€¦ I would never kill someone you care about I was trying to get him to submitâ€¦ its ok.,â€¦â€ he cooed softly his hand running through Rayâ€™s hair. â€œI need to talk to you about some things..â€ he smiled and picked Ray up along with the chair keeping his head down to hide the eye. He spoke to Ricardo with confidence and honesty â€œI have no plans to hurt the one carrying my child and the one I am now bonded toâ€¦.thank you for standing down. If theres anyway I can ever help you just let me knowâ€ he smiled â€œI am sorry I hurt youâ€¦â€ Azrial smiled feeling the new golden mark appearing over his left eye.<br/><br/>About an hour later Azrial got them back to the castle and back into the room with the hotspirngs. He had stripped Ray down to under clothes and had his sitting on the waterâ€™s edge, while he himself was in the water washing off the blood wincing and hissing softly. While he was washing he was speaking. â€œYou fear that I will leave when my child is born however there is something your not thinking aboutâ€¦â€ he smiled softly. â€œif I did that I would be taking the child from its mother which is not far and it wouldnâ€™t be far to you either. I have not had a thought to leave when the babe is born infact I was going to stay here so you can help me. Like I said your DNA is in it too you are actually its biological motherâ€¦ â€œ he paused some to sigh â€œNicki doesnâ€™;t have any DNA in that baby other then what little I had in my body from when we were bondedâ€¦â€ he turned looking to Ray â€œThat makes you my mate right now. I know it didnâ€™t sound like it earlier but I didnâ€™t know what the place was between you and others and coming into a new territory is scary. Iâ€¦ I wasnâ€™t raised in places like this I was born in a cave about 100 miles from here. And thatâ€™s where I lived my entire lifeâ€¦ the day came when my dad died and I gained his landâ€¦Then it was taken from me and coming here not knowing anything about this place its scary.. and I didnâ€™t know what to do.. so you will have to bear with me.. I am trying..â€ he smiled softly..
