The slight pause after his explanation was merely a second, but felt like a lifetime. And when Eryan began to approach him, his heart raced in anticipating the worst from her. Her eyes, although beautiful held little to no emotion until she began to life up his shirt, much to Lucan's surprise. But he kept his composure, willing to take whatever she was going to say or do.<br/><br/>And yet again he was met with another surprise. Eryan's soft and gentle hand traced over his scar and her words were like magic, soothing and driving back his pain and guilt to the brink of nonexistance. Lucan's eyes gazed deeply into Eryan's and his feelings and emotions flickered vigorously inside of him. Slowly he reached his hand out and slowly slid it to the back of her waist, gently bringing her body closer to his. Lucan continued his embracing gaze as he lifted his other hand and caressed Eryan's cheek. For a moment all he could do was stare and be taken in by her beauty. Finally he mentally shook of the spell she had over him and he managed to eventually speak.<br/><br/>"I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to hear you say that. All I can say back is thank you." Lucan paused briefly. "So I suppose if you'd have it, i'll stick around." A small smirk formed on his lips. "I mean come on, someone's gotta look after you guys." Lucan said playfully. It was then that Lucan had realized he still Eryan in somewhat of a "lover's embrace" so he quickly let her go and his nervousness surfaced as he smiled lightly while scratching the back of his head.<br/><br/>"So, shall we head back now?"<br/><br/>"Maybe that's all I needed to hear. Thank you"
