"I swear that I have never felt so clumbsy before today." he amitted softly. He couldn't stop the surge of pleasure through the bond as she rested her head on his shoulder and he desperately wanted to slide an arm about her trim waist. But, his hand was in hers and he was loath to remove it. He was a man of passion, but passion too often estrained in regards to her. Before today, it was as much out of respect for her as fear of the lost opportunity to become her warder than anything. Now, it still the respect, but a need to be sure that she not be considered less than what she was by too much of a display from him and how she might react to it. He knew her, but the new situation gave him both too much information through the bond and too little.<br/><br/>He felt his cheeks color just a little at the question and he glanced toward the juggler as indicated. The big bear of a man swallowed and spoke softly, "The show is there, but I can't take my gaze away from the beauty beside of me." he closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, "I do not think that I have been this close to you for this long since the day you stole my breath the first time I saw you... It might be a little distracting, but I cannot find it within myself to apologize."<br/><br/>Warner wasn't completely distracted by her, he had ears and a nose and was still quite capable of acting with a speed that belied his size if he percieved a threat to her. He smiled a small, private smile just for her, "Then, there is the scent that you are wearing." he said in a soft voice. "It suits you Lady."
