He gaped at her in surprise.  "You...truly wish to be with me...a mutated human?  If you actually mean it, and I beg you not to teast me in this, then I pledge that I will stay with you until you send me from you, or I drop.  I will do my best to learn your likes, your quirks, your worries and to do my best to make you happy.  I'm no social butterfly...I just like to understand how things work and make them run well.  I want to understanf you and do anything I can to make your life better.  Is that...alright?"  His voice was scared, but hopeful.<br/>He hugged her close, waiting for her reply, afraid that life was going to throw another cruel joke at him.  "Please just tell me to stay or stay away...I'm too loyal to be casual."
