Seveline blushed a bit darker at what Blane had said, though not exactly knowing how anyone else would have acted towards her. She only knew of Blane's flirting, his compliments, his companionship and devotion; if he didn't truly like her, if he was only saying such things because of lust, he would never have treated her this way. However, she slightly doubted her looks, thinking that perhaps Blane saw more beauty in her than there was. Wouldn't any of the other boys tried flirting with her before now if she was honestly as gorgeous as he claimed she was? There had been so many chances for anyone else to try flirting with her, even if Cydrao had tried to keep them away; another thing that made her so sure that this was meant to be. If this wasn't right, if this wasn't star-crossed like it felt like, then why did Blane always come back? Why didn't he stop and give up when her overprotective "brother", and his best friend, told him off for his comments? She didn't blush at what he said lastly though, smiling a bit more. "Well, before I had always thought you were just flirting for the sake of flirting, as if I was just some current girl of yours or something... but my heart has changed. Something isn't the same as it was before. I can't figure out what it is, but all I know is that this... all of this... I know this may sound crazy, but I think this was meant to be from the start." 'That I was meant to love you.'<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Lucretia smiled a little, glad for Cydrao's company. If it wasn't for his kind words, even if it wasn't like him to act this way, she would have just given herself up to the slayers... he had given her hope to overcome this challenge, to fight this monster that she'd been turned into and keep her control. "I'm glad you had found me." She murmured softly. "Anyone else would have either killed me without giving me any chance or left me to fend for myself. I would have never been able to recover like this without your help. And I probably would have ended up a vicious, bloodthirsty monster. But you've given me the strength to believe that I can still control my fate, even if things have turned for the worst. Thank you." She finally raised her eyes from the ground, glancing over to Cydrao with a full, heartfelt smile, a light glitter in her now fully brown eyes; the red was receding, her thirst had been forced back for the time being.
