 I'M WAKING UP TO ASH AND DUST

It was a calm, clear evening. The sky was empty except for the occasional wisp of cloud. The stars dotted the sky and shined with a silver light. The moon was full, bringing enough light to the world below that shadows were everywhere. The dark of the shadows were nothing to be afraid of but they were something to watch. A gentle breeze whispered through the buildings, breathing along the skin of the prince that seemed to be aimlessly wandering. His dark red eyes flickered from shadow to shadow, it wasn't a nervous reaction or even a scared reaction as most would think. Something made him uneasy and because of that he was wary of his surroundings as he walked along the dirt streets.

There was a cold feeling that he was being watched. It felt almost....ominous. The feeling chilled him to his very soul. As the feeling seemed to get heavier, his pace picked up until he was running. Things didn't really go well ever since he arrived in this town. It was crowded with people. Bad people for most of the parts as he could only recall a gang of bandits chasing after him. Was this supposed to be the famous town that held the prestigious guild named Fairy Tail or was the entire legend a simple joke? ''This isn't right...'' He murmured before halting his run. He didn't quite enjoy the train ride that he had early this morning and have wasted a lot of his time so he was going to get all that back. For now Alduin felt like that he got cheated on not being able to remember the slightest detail about his morning. He was going to get it back...

Now THAT had been a fun party. Ellie stumbled out of the rowdy inn, grinning at the doorway and waving a hand at the friends she had made inside. “G’BYE EVERYONE!” She yelled at them all, swaying where she stood. Her cheeks were coated in a soft red blush, a sign of her intoxication. Even though she was underage, the people in the bar had taken a liking to her and bought numerous drinks to make her more… jolly. It had most certainly worked. They probably weren’t to be dubbed as a ‘nice, normal’ kind of crowd, and heck, they were probably a bunch of criminals. But the blonde couldn’t care less. They had been nice to her, and she had been nice in return. The gang all yelled their goodbyes, waving enthusiastically and telling her to get to bed. She saluted them with a cheerful grin on her face, stumbling over her own feet as she started off down the pathway.

She had found herself down a back-street of Magnolia, in one of the shadier districts that the town had to offer. She couldn’t recall how she ended up down here, but it was of no concern to her either. She walked slowly, her legs each taking large, deliberate strides as if she was really concentrating on such an otherwise simple action. Well… it was becoming increasingly difficult to see straight. The cool night breeze kissed her exposed skin, of which there was rather a lot, as she sported her typical revealing attire. She felt one of her long gloves slipping down her arm and made a sudden movement to try and pull it back up, her hand completely missing its target and smacking herself in the face. She giggled at her own drunken stupor, letting her hand drop to her side once more while she walked and deciding to forget about her glove for now. The tops of the harsh scars she harboured were a strange, distorted shade of white against her peachy skin, illuminated by the moonlight overhead. She took a pathway that led her back into the main streets of Magnolia, almost falling over a discarded cardboard box in the process. With a startled yelp that turned into hysterical giggles, she hopped over the box and hit the ground running, only just managing to stop herself before she crashed into the ground.

She stood with her arms flailing around like a madwoman, making an all manner of cute noises, including hiccups, until she managed to stand up straight again with a deep sigh of relief. She stood in the centre of the town, looking this way and that while trying to remember which hotel she was staying at… huh… now this wasn’t good. “Maybe it’s this way!” She claimed and walked off in a random direction that wasn’t the way she originally came from, humming loudly and out of tune. The tune echoed strangely in the empty town. At this graveyard hour, nobody was about, and even though it seemed rather spooky and it was probably a criminal hotspot, Ellie could have cared less. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she saw a stranger run in front of her a fair way. Her pink eyes blinked widely in confusion, wondering what on earth somebody was doing running around at this hour. She was, undoubtedly, ignoring the fact that she was drunk and wandering around the town late at night too.

She approached the stranger after he had stopped running, his back turned to her as she made large, clumsy steps towards him. “Excuuuuuuuse me…” She drawled in such a happy tone, hands clasped behind her back as she only just managed to stop behind the stranger. She rocked back and forth on her heels, watching him for a reaction. “What’re you running from? Was… was it a ghost or… or a scary killer… or…” She trailed off, her lips forming a pout as she couldn’t think of anything or anybody else scary enough to make that short list.

Alduin was focused on his run before the sudden apparition of a person disrupted him. Who is it? Alduin wondered before turning back his head to see whoever the person that called him. His eyes darted from the left to right before stopping upon a blonde haired female. A beautiful and cute one at that. ''Hey there! Thank you for worrying about me!'' He said as his mood suddenly changed into an enlightened one. It was weird to see him in a constant personality shift phase though being positive and hyper active about life wasn't always a bad thing. ''Would you believe me if I told you that ghosts existed!?'' He laughed stupidly as his eyes looked into her's. Her face was red. Was she blushing? Anyway , why did a female like her randomly popped out in the night like this? ''Umm... Would you mind me asking what is a female like you doing outside alone in the night like this? It might be quite dangerous you know?'' 

Wandering alone at night is really dangerous. Especially when you were a female. Never know when one of these crazy people that lurks in the dark crazily comes out and tries to do anything weird LIKE NOW! Alduin halted before he noticed a gang of street members walking toward them. The situation wasn't exactly in their favor as the two of them soon got surrounded by a bunch of them. Alduin asked himself if this was all but a trap that was set up by the girl before he noticed the surprising reaction on her face. ''Oh great... What have I just gotten myself into...'' He emitted a deep sight before noticing a bandit advancing closer toward them. He was not necessarily taller but had a bulkier built and a baseball bat in hand. 

''Hehe... We hit the jackpot today guys! Give us all your money and... Umm...'' The bulky male said with an unnatural squeaky voice as he pointed toward the two before his eyes laid on the female. ''She looks cute. Your girlfriend , hand her over! I'll be borrowing her for tonight hehe...'' He chuckled maliciously. ''Eh!? but she is not my....'' He exclaimed in a surprised tone before emitting a deep and long sigh . ''Why does this kind of things always happens to me? ...'' He crossed his arms and looked around him to begin counting on how many underlings he had. He looked quite bored and not in the least in a hurry.

Being in her strange mindset of the typical drunken individual, Ellie didn’t find anything odd about the stranger’s sudden change of persona. Heck, she didn’t even know him beforehand, so she couldn’t really comment on what he was like otherwise. She didn’t really take in any information about the stranger, apart from his shock of blonde hair and interesting red eyes. Her magenta orbs were flitting about in every direction possible as she felt rather ditsy and… not quite with it. When he asked her how she would react if he told her that ghosts were real, she took a few seconds to let that statement soak in before her eyes widened and she gasped. She glanced around the area they were in at present, hands flying to the sides of her face to complete the whole ‘shocked’ look. “Wow, seriously?!” She questioned, her voice breathy and disbelieving. That being said, it was rather obvious that she actually believed what the youth was telling her…

The blonde male asked her what a female like her was doing out and about at this hour, and she couldn’t help but laugh. A girl like her? He obviously didn’t know that she was a mage and more than capable to take care of herself! “I was having a party with some friends!” She claimed proudly, her voice still a little slurred and slow as she pointed off in the direction she had come from earlier. To anybody who know the area, that might have horrified them; criminals had their specific part of town, and where Ellie had ventured from had been criminal central. “And you shouldn’t worry! I can take care of myself!” She added, hands firmly placed on her hips as she smirked to herself. She may be drunk, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t be her typical arrogant self.

Only moments after she had stated that much, a strange gang of street thugs started approaching them, circling them and making it impossible to escape without a fight. She didn’t really notice what the blonde stranger at her side said to himself, but instead focused on the man walking towards them. This guy was well built when compared to the others, and he wielded a weapon of choice in the good ol’ baseball bat. She looked at them all, not recognising the group which made her pout, even if she was mainly surprised by the random appearance of a menacing-looking street gang. She was feeling pretty intimidated until… the ‘leader’ of the group started speaking. She covered her mouth with a hand, eyes spelling merriment as she tried her hardest not to laugh. Unfortunately, she could help it and ended up bursting out laughing. “GAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU SOUND SO FUNNY!” She exclaimed, pointing and laughing with all her might.

Now of course that didn’t go down well whatsoever for her. She was so amused that she didn’t even react to the fact that she had been called this stranger’s girlfriend. The leader of the gang gritted his teeth and smacked the baseball bat he was holding into the palm of his other hand menacingly. “Hey, stranger.” Ellie leant over to the blonde, turning her back to him and shooting him a playful grin over her shoulder. “Fancy stretching a few muscles and getting rid of these idiots?” She had sobered up considerably at the prospect of a fight. She cracked her knuckles and without warning, launched herself at the nearest underling, her blow to the man’s face exploding upon impact and sending him flying. She cheered delightedly, punching the air with triumph before she was set upon by a gaggle of other underlings. “WHAT?! That bitch is a MAGE?!” The leader bellowed, which made his voice even funnier than before… if that was possible. Ellie cackled with delight, swinging a leg around to smack an unfortunate underling at the side of the head, knocking him clean out.

Things were never boring when she was around…

''Of course I will!'' He shouted before jumping into the fray. Couldn't make a weak image of himself inside the mind of such a beautiful lady now can't we? Alduin sighed as he jumped in and fought. The malicious beast was revealed as some was sent flying away upon a punch of his dragon like strength. ''There's too much of them!'' He complained as he noticed that more were coming. What were they going to do? If they stood there they were doomed to be outnumbered though he needed to protect this damsel or else a horrible fate was surely going to befall on her tonight.

Alduin could actually use his dragon slayer magic to clear them all out in one moment right now though he did not felt like it. The intense atmosphere of the battle made him forgot about it. This was a physical brawl. There was no need for him to clean them all out in one hit. He moved back and forward as he fought. Too concentrated to notice anything else as a shadow approached. The leader with his baseball bat in hand moved behind Alduin as he raised it up and prepared swing it down to knock him out. A coward he was. ''We'll see who gets the last laugh. You'll pay for all you've done to my underlings. I'll know you out and take your girl hehe...'' The evil man grinned maliciously.

The young blonde woman was having a real blast, literally. Her strange strikes that she kept launching at foes were going off with loud bangs and her ears were met with the sweet sounds of manly screams. Ellie had sobered up considerably from earlier on, and she was fighting with a clear head in the cool night air. In some ways, she was very different to how she had been when first meeting with this stranger, but in other ways… she was exactly the same. The thrill of a fight truly excited her, and she always went over the top with overkill during brawls she always managed to get herself into. She barely noticed what her current companion was saying in amongst all the fun, and even if she had heard the fact that more brutes were coming to join the fight, she wouldn’t have cared, and/ or she would have chosen not to notice. If fighting could be classed as a hobby, it would be one of her favourites alongside reading. Now, reading while fighting… hm…

She grabbed a man by the scruff of the neck, holding up a fist to hit him square in the jaw, when she turned and noticed that her companion was about to be jumped by the cowardly gang leader. She scowled and stomped across behind the baseball bat-wielding man, holding up her hands and condensing a ball of pure destruction magic between them. “Hey, big guy!” She claimed to get his attention, waiting until he had turned around to then grin like a maniac and throw the ball she had created up and down like a baseball as opposed to a ball packed full of explosive power. “Try this on for size!” She threw the ball like one would pitch a baseball, watching as the brute’s face dropped along with his mouth in sheer shock. She dashed through the explosion itself, in its ‘implosion’ stage, and grabbed hold of her companion’s arm, dragging him after her. Before doing so, she planted a hand to the floor and channelled some of her destruction magic below, which very quickly turned into a full-blown erosion of the surrounding earth. With her quick pace, she and the man she was dragging along behind were able to escape both the explosion, and the erosion technique. The gang of thugs, however, were not so lucky…

She continued to run, ignoring any protests that her companion might make about being dragged along like some kind of rag doll. Eventually, she dashed into a small alleyway which was considerably darker than outside in the open night. At least here they wouldn’t be found by the thugs. She pressed her back to the wall, her chest rising and falling quickly as she caught her breath. Using that much magic in such rapid succession had tired her out, but she felt… elated instead of exhausted. She turned and grinned at the young man beside her, giving him a thumbs up that made it obvious how delighted she was at the outcome of their brawl only moments earlier. “Hey, in all that rush back there, I just realised that we still aren’t introduced properly.” She pointed out, stifling a laugh as she realised that the gang of thugs might come looking for them again. That being said, she doubted it considering the state they would all be in out there right now. She held her hand out for the man to take as a sign of friendship, her magenta eyes sparkling softly in the dwindling light. “My name’s Ellie. What’s yours?”

Alduin's eyes widened with surprise as he saw the female doing her work. A splendid art of what people would usually define as mopping the floor with. ''The hell...'' Things happened so fast afterward that Alduin did not even have the time to react. A large explosion happened and then she grabbed his hand and they... Ran away!?

''Wait! What are you doing!?'' He screamed while being dragged away by the mysterious blonde girl he just meet a few minutes ago. A part of him wanted to stay although he wasn't the kind of person that would normally search for random trouble. They ran and stopped after a while. Alduin did not exactly caught on with what was going on though she looked fatigued. ''What were you thinking!? Why run away!? WE could have won that easily!'' He crossed his arms before sulking like a baby boy. ''Psshh...'' He released the hold of air within his mouth before remembering that she just saved him from a sneaky baseball bat swing that could have knocked him out on spot. ''Mmpth... Anyway... Thanks for earlier.... The name's Ald...'' He said as shades of red invaded his face. He tried to look away but couldn't. Electra was an interesting girl and he wanted to know more about her. He wasn't exactly interested in her but more intrigued. Yes that was the word. She caught his attention after using her magic. That destructive nature... It resembled his magic and he was sure that he have seen it from someone else before. Another female that assisted him on his previous mission. Were they related?''Interesting magic you demonstrated there... Where did you learn that?''

She laughed quietly at her companion’s reaction to the fact that she had dragged him away from the fight, shaking her head and rolling her eyes slightly. “I like keeping people on their toes.” She said in a purr of a tone, reaching out an index finger and poking the blonde young man on the end of his nose. He mumbled a thanks for what she did earlier to save his hide and mentioned that his name was Ald. She grinned widely at him, seeing the shades of red on his face and wondering what he was embarrassed about. If she had been in the same situation, she got the feeling that he would have done the same for her, so what was up with him blushing?

He continued to look at her, as if he couldn’t avert his gaze. Ellie blinked a few times and glanced around her, wondering if there was something else the youth was staring at that wasn’t her. When she realised that they were surrounded by nothing but brick walls, she realised that he was indeed staring at her. She was about to ask why when he opened his mouth and spoke about her magic; a sure way to distract her. A wide grin lit up her face at its very mention, making it obvious that she was rather proud of her magic. She placed her hands on her hips, magenta eyes shining delightedly in the waning light. “Well, I taught myself.” She claimed as if it was the normal thing to do, tilting her head to the side. Being taught magic by somebody else? What was this strange phenomenon? She shook it off as being nothing, her earlier grin returning the more she thought about her magic and its unique destructive qualities. “What about your magic? Can’t say I’ve seen it used anywhere else before.” She turned the question right back at him, because her curiosity was peaking about it. She hadn’t seen Ald perform much magic, mainly because she had been too busy beating up mindless thugs, but what she had seen was rather interesting indeed.

''That's because...'' He suddenly halted before trying to bring up another conversation subject. It made him uneasy whenever he talked about the origin of his magic hence why only one person knew. Alduin wasn't unfamiliar with hers since he meet someone with it just a few days ago though the fact of seeing it up close never failed to amaze him. Everyone says they learnt their magic by themselves though was it really the truth? That's what they all say...

A dead silence befell between the two youngsters after a minutes as Alduin felt the tension within the air. This awkwardness that settled... ''You still haven't told me your name yet Enyo.'' He grinned playfully before realizing that he had already gave her a nickname. How embarrassed he was. Though the nickname miss destruction did not sound all that awful. Don't ask me about how I came up with the name he thought to himself. After all , he just had the weirdest day ever. Walking alone on the street at night when a girl suddenly pops out of nowhere and then before you know it you get chased after by a bunch of bandits? Alduin will have a lot of stories to tell when he gets back home.

The blonde looked at her companion curiously when he began to speak and then cut himself short. Huh… how strange. She decided not to push the fact, however, because she realised the awkwardness of having a past that she didn’t wish to share, and realised that other people were in similar predicaments to her. She was surprised when Ald mentioned that she hadn’t introduced herself, and he continued to call her… Enyo, meaning Miss Destruction. It didn’t take much for a smile to break out on her face and a laugh to swiftly follow, obviously very amused by this choice of nickname for her.

It was, of course, rather apt.

She clenched a hand into a loose fist, reaching up and knocking on the side of the young man’s head playfully, grinning madly with delight. “I did, if you’d have been paying attention!” She joked and stretched both arms above her head, clasping her hands together at the back of her neck casually. “The name’s Ellie.” She claimed simply, not about to reveal her full name to anybody, let alone somebody she had only just met for real. She blinked in realisation as she noticed that they were still hanging around in a rather shady dark alleyway, and started to wonder about what they could do to escape this dank, depressing place.

“Where abouts are you staying? Would you like me to walk you home?” She teased, nudging Ald playfully in the ribs with a huge grin painting her face with sheer mischief.

''Eh?... I'm sorry hahaha...'' He laughed embarrassingly as he lowered his head trying to hide the redness. Alduin wasn't a guy that would easily blush though the current situation demanded him to do so. His eyes darted away before stopping back upon the blonde. Alduin found it weird about how she managed to be so happy and playful all the time.

''Hey not fair!'' He realized that she was teasing him before poking her forehead as a sign of returning her previous act. He didn't like when people teased him. It made him feel embarrassed and like a child yet he was somewhat happy about her presence. ''Sure why don't you come along? I could use a drinking and chatting partner.'' He laughed before walking toward the direction of his rented house. Only a few streets away if she ever wanted to tag along and have fun for the night. It was weird for a person to invite someone they don't know about though Alduin knew that he could count on her after what they've just went through.She did not leave him behind and run away and that made him feel a kind of warmth rising inside of his heart. It has been a long time since he ever felt this kind of joyful feeling. What they called it again...? He could not remember anymore due to the long conduction of time he have suffered.

The night would surely be less lonely with his new friend. At least he would not have to talk to himself anymore.

The blonde took great delight in playfully teasing people, especially males, because for some reason or another they were attracted to her and it dented their ego to be proved wrong or poked fun at. She grinned at Ald as he blushed and apologised for not paying attention earlier, and she gave him a strong pat on the back in response with a joyful laugh. “Hey, it’s alright! I must have mentioned it in amongst our tussle back there! No wonder you didn’t hear!” She played it off as being nothing, still grinning delightedly as she nudged her fellow blonde once more. In response to her teasing actions earlier, he poked her on the forehead, causing her to look up and puff her cheeks out slightly in mock irritation.

He reacted well to her suggestion of ‘walking him home’, and stated that he needed a drinking and chatting partner. Well, who didn’t? Being friendly with people made life more fun, after all. She beamed at him in delight as he said that she would be welcome, and pumped a fist in the air as a visible sign of her delight, coupled with her characteristic grin, of course.

“Well then, lead the way, partner!” She claimed, waving her gloved hands as a sign for him to do just that. She would walk alongside him with long, purposeful strides, still grinning with her hands clasped behind her back casually. Although she never made ties anywhere she visited, she enjoyed being friendly with people because in all honesty, it was what kept her sane. She hated leaving people she befriended, but it was for their own good. This would happen before long between her and Ald, she knew that much, but she disregarded it to enjoy what time she did spend being his friend.

''Sure...'' It took them some time before arriving at his house. The walk was long though it seemed short with Ellie's company. She was right. Alduin did not need to ask to know that a lot of other males was after her hand and that alone made the prince feel a little bit jealous. He was raised up being spoiled. He always obtained what he wanted but things were different now. He felt so hopeless and weak. He was unsure of himself. For a moment he wanted to extend his hand to reach out for her's though he halted. He was a coward and did not have enough courage to do it.

They settled down after arriving at his house. A medium sized mansion with a big hall inside and a small garden at the back. Alduin bought it with what little gold he had left from his long journey. It took him months to get to this town and he was happy that he bought this mansion or he would not have meet Ellie. The inside was practically empty aside from a table at the center along with a bottle of wine and a few glass cups placed on it. It was dark inside and there wasn't much light. Alduin took the bottle of red wine and took his time to pour the liquid into the two cups before sitting next to Ellie. He felt nervous yet at ease in her presence. It was hard to explain his feelings for her. They've just meet a few hours ago and the young prince have already developed a sort of liking into her. Out of all the females he meet during his days at the palace when he was still a prince... Ellie was more special then them. But then again , they were only slaves.

''To our friendship!'' He shouted as they drank their first cup like two kids before they burst in a laugh.The ambiance was so different with her presence. Alduin usually felt darkness and solitude at his home but now... He felt like that the house was full of light and warm. It was all because of her. ''Ellie... Have you ever thought that your entire life was nothing but a lie...?'' He asked her in a bored tone before gulping his drink in one shot. It was a serious question that he have asked to many people before. Most of their answers differed though the young prince needed to know what she thought about it. He stared at her while pouring his next cup.

The whole time they walked, the blonde female cracked jokes, teased Ald some more and occasionally spun on the spot to show off, grinning and claiming that she was a circus artist with how acrobatic she was (which was, in all honesty, not that much). Ellie’s confidence/ arrogance knew no bounds, especially when with new people. She always tried to make a good impression or no impression at all, and since the pair of them had fought together, she felt a definite connection of friendship between herself and her blonde companion. She wasn’t the type to give up on people, and she would fight tooth and claw to make sure others were safe, even if she wasn’t. Although she may preach otherwise, the value she held for her own life was little to nothing.

Other lives were more important, no?

She was astounded as they approached a mansion and her new friend stated that it was his home. Talk about a ‘humble’ abode! And here she was staying in a grotty hotel room by comparison, even if she spent most of her time now at the Fairy Tail guild. After socialising and drinking with the rowdy bunch, she would often fall asleep and get carried to bed by her other friend in Magnolia, Kai. Ellie couldn’t help but notice how empty the place felt inside in spite of its size, but it wasn’t her place to judge people on simple aesthetic things. When it was handed to her, she took the glass of red wine and swirled it gently in the bottom of the glass, inhaling its deep, fruity scent and nodding her head in approval. This was good stuff, there was no denying it; and she knew she couldn’t afford it otherwise.

She grinned insanely when Ald yelled a toast, and raised her glass in agreement about their newfound friendship. “Hell yeah!” She exclaimed in return, gulping the wine down with pleasure. It tasted wonderful, and she couldn’t help but admire it and how much money it would have cost to buy it. She placed her empty glass down afterwards, already feeling the intoxicated feeling creeping upon her again. After all, it wasn’t long ago that she was drunk for the first time this evening, and she wished to keep that to a bare minimum as she stole a glance at the rest of the wine bottle in front of her. She blinked in surprise when her blonde friend suddenly spoke her name and asked rather a deep question of her, wondering if she had ever felt that her whole life was a lie. Slowly, she shook her head, keeping her magenta eyes suspiciously on Ald.

“Can’t say that I have… why do you ask?” She wished to know why such a question had cropped up now of all times. She was cagey about her past, and she wasn’t wishing to disclose it no matter how drunk she became; such was the emotional scars she sustained at the time.

''I ask that because that is the exact definition of what I'm living through right now...''His head titled down before he gave out this sad look as if he was in need of comfort. ''Never mind... What a joke I am...'' He murmured before tears appeared on the side of his eyes. He really was a joke. Not just to himself but to his entire kingdom. What will he ever say to his father? What will he ever do to regain his confidence? He was but a mere selfish and stupid coward. He had everything at his disposal yet he was not happy and decided to run away instead. What was wrong with his mind?

Alduin raised his drink as he cheered on before they drank the third cup. He should not have brought up his past. Now he could not help but think about it. He wanted to forget about it right now. Only for tonight as Alduin poured another cup. Hints of redness invaded his face again. He felt little bit drunk yet his flirty eyes haven't darted away from Ellie. The surface was soon going to be erased... His true colors was soon going to be shown... ''What a beautiful woman you are...'' He said in a dreamy tone as he contemplated her with his red eyes and sighed. Maybe she was already taken? Maybe she already have someone? Though at this point Alduin could not care anymore as he tried to analyse her expression and continued on drinking.

They were both a little bit drunk at this point though Alduin decided that he was going to try something that he have never done before. He felt his inner courage raising up inside of him as they continued on drinking. No regrets on what he was about to do. It was going to be his first time as he thought about this clearly inside of his drunken head. ''Hey Ellie...'' He stared at her within the eyes seriously for a few seconds before his face approached.It was going to be the most risky decision of his life. He was going to denounce his love...

He felt embarrassed and really awkward right now though he was drunk. He was scared that she would refuse him and suddenly pull away though what happens next would remain to be her decision. Alduin wasn't the forceful type and did not want to force himself upon her althoug his life... His adventures would become so less lonely with her. The warmth he constantly felt in her presence. He needed it...
