Lazer looks at her. "Just Lazer. And yes it would seem you are stuck here." he sighs at her words. "You won't. You are needing to heal. And as such I will need to insist upon your staying here. I would rather not have to tie you down. It would be rather disturbing to me to need to tie someone who needs healing down. Simply due to the fact that they will not listen and try and move when not healed enough to do so." he looks at her. "But as a cleric and healerr part time...I will do what is necessary to make sure you are fully healed before you are allowed to leave." No sign of sexual intent. Just a dead serious intent to do whatever it took to keep her here. But honestly only until she was healed fully.<br/><br/>He looks at her. "It doesn't matter if it is the Cliadoa themselves. I don't care. I will take any and all on if they intend harm to you. For two facts. One you are my patient. Two you are a beautiful woman who is in danger. I can not in good conscious leave you to fend for yourself for two reasons. One you are still going to be weak even after being fully healed AND are currently injured. Two...it has been a long time since I was able to protect and defend someone." he says softly.<br/><br/>He nods his head. "Yes. A phoenix." he says softly. "That is rather strange. Then again perhaps on your world it is merely they hide or have long ago left you home world." he says. Shrugging. "They are birds of fire AND they are a symbol of rebirth into new life. As they themselves burn to ashes upon death and are born anew from the ashes." he says honestly.<br/><br/>He looks at her. Stopping his next statement. "Why not?" he asks simply. Looking at her. Biting his lower lip and turning away. "I see. Alright. I will feed you." he says. His tone dead and lifeless. Worse than it had been when they first encountered one another. He stands and walks over to the stove. And cooks up a wonderful smelling pasta dish with shrimp in it. It took him a matter of moments. He makes her a plate and gives her a goldish looking fork. And places them both on the bed beside her.<br/><br/>Walking away from her. "You say it is not because of me with your lips. But your eyes say a whole nother story Miss Reona. I think it is because of me. Whether or not it is me personally it has something to do with me." he says sadly. Walking over to get his own plate. "I can understand if your worried about my safety. But you needn't be. In any case...you say you don't want to stay and become friends...I understand. your still not leaving til your healed enough. If you have no wish to be friends though......" he trails off.<br/><br/>Then resumes speaking. "Then I will not impose or force any more will or myself on you then is necessary for your healing process. Forget I even said anything dealing with the word friend. You are the patient. I was stupid to think anyone expecially a woman...would see me as anything other than the healer. If even that." he falls silent and eats his food. He looks out the window and grows further distant to her. Trying not to show how much her words hurt him. Cut him deep. But for a more personal reason. A reason that started in the past....
