He gave her a smile that almost made him look more like a murderer than a hunter, before his features softened again, "I just want to make sure you'll be safe. This is a place where bad people might have a strong urge to take control, and if that happens, I want to know if you'll be safe even without me."<br/><br/>He took her hand and kissed it gently, "I have found that chivalry is a desirable quality where I come from, however, it is not to be used without thinking. Were it to come to it, I would fight on your behalf, but I know my limits, and if it comes to it I would leave you to your own if my abilities would serve greater use without protecting you. None can expect the dedication of 'true love' from me, but a more fierce and loyal friend you will never find..."<br/><br/>He chuckled a little and lightened the mood by adding... "I am, however, fiercer in other areas, and friendship is not something I see as a barrier to lust."<br/><br/>He smiled, "no need to talk any longer about   it until things go awry, though. Best to enjoy the night for now."
