Zeris looked at her. Watching her cooking and let go of her. His arms moving from around her waist. His head lifting from nuzzling her neck as he smelled her beautiful natural floral scent. Added to it was whatever perfume she had sprayed on in the changing room at the competition. He chuckled a bit. "Maybe. Maybe not." He said. Amused that she thought the food was what smelled so good. She at times seemed a bit naive. That was okay he cared about her nonetheless. He blinked at her question. Rubbing the back of his head. "I don't know. Maybe its because you are my best friend. To be honest I really don't know. I just feel fiercely protective whenever you are in danger. Like I would kill to keep you alive and unharmed. Its a strange feeling which I've never felt towards another before. So honestly...I'm not sure."
