Rane smiled and giggled. “Miss Serina, You do not think that I mean to take your child right away, do you? I merely expressed my feelings to her because they are true. Of course, I will not pursue a relationship unless I have your permission to do so, Miss Serina. You are both her guardian and mine, it would be hurtfully rude to not ask.... So, Miss Serina.... if I could gain your trust, could I also have your daughter's feelings in love? I know I may be mortal.... but I'll try not to burden you, Miss Serina, or your daughter. Please, may I have a chance, Miss Serina?" His entire body turned a bright red.
