"I do not see you as a prize, but to say that I do not want you would be a lie. But when we were children you had come over looking for a playmate and so while we were playing a few mischievousness spirits began to bother you so I sent them away, you were quite pleased. Plus you finally had someone who saw what you saw. "I didn't know what you were till our grandfather told us but he did not go into great detail until later. "But he had mentioned that we could take you as our bride, but I wanted you for my own selfish reason's" he chuckled to himself. "I guess in all honesty it makes me a bad leader cause in the end to have you, I had to fight my where here, I had to be stronger, smarter. I even took my brother's place as head, it's almost unheard of that the younger son become head before his elder brother". He spoke all this not looking at her going over the various things he had done to get here. All the training, all the work, all the longing. "I wanted you for being the sweet cry baby that you are, not because you are the peach. That only makes me more protective of you. It's bitter sweet to have you means I have to protect you from anyone or anything. If you had been a mere human I would have been spit on by most. But to me either was as long as I have you nothing matters other then your happiness". he said the last words with a smile.<br/><br/>( I feel like im making corbin too soft but I don't think he could reach rayne any other way.)
