Blane looked at her. "I think they may have but Cydrao quickly stopped that." He touched her cheek. "You are beautiful. I've seen how the younger slayers look at you. They see the beauty I do but your brother can be quite intimidating to most everyone." He pointed out. "You will always be beautiful in my eyes." He said softly. He tilted his head a bit. "I never flatter just to flatter. When I flirt I speak truths and facts. Nothing more. Nothing less." he said with a soft smile. "You responded enough. You blushed and didn't try to stake me. The latter of which was a good sign it got you thinking." He listened as she continued. "usually it is an outside source that sees what not many see about themselves." He said softly. He nodded his head. "No biggie. Just felt like I was on fire."<br/><br/>He leaned back. "It was my kind that made you suffer. It was only right that it should be one of my kind who takes that suffering and feels it for you." He closed his eyes. "I would hurt a thousand times over to keep you from feeling even a moment of pain." He listened and thought over those words. "You suffering an unneccessary pain that came about because of my flirting did not sit well with me." He was being honest. He looked at her. "I'm sorry I caused you agony that was not my intent. I was hoping you would be out doing slayer things until the pain went to a more bearable level." He said softly.<br/><br/>"Or being with your sister. I made sure she was okay. I didn't go in but I took care of the vampires around your house. They won't go near it again. They think its haunted by a demon." He said with a chuckle. He looked at her. "I care about you with every fiber of my being. I am sorry but I had to right that wrong. It was not in me to let you suffer when you did nothing to deserve being the bait to a trap for me." He closed his eyes. He opened them again a moment later. "I care for you so greatly I am quite certain it is love. We are Romeo and Juliet for we are forbidden to love yet love we still do."<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Cydrao saw her head tilt. "Whose acting? I haven't done anything to deserve a thank you." He said quite seriously. He nodded his head. He didn't want to think of the if ands and buts. He knew the boss would understand. It would be him that would be punished yet not banished from the team. Nobody else would know. Watching her smile and nod about the violin. He wanted to hear it. He loved violin music when it was played correctly. Even if she was horrible he would respectfully listen. He was not a rude man but sensitivity was not his strong suit. He watched her position to play. Sitting down and listened. It was beautiful. It made him relax and feel at ease. He watched as she played. She had natural skill and talent. It was beautiful and he loved the sound of it. He would have to have her play more than just this one time. It made his troubled mind feel at ease and at peace. He noted how happy she seemed. Glad that she enjoyed the music and it seemed to have a positive effect on her. So for now he just listened to her play.
