Erik shook his head from side to side, as he frowned and stared back at her with his puzzled gaze. Knowing that she wanted to state that she was and used to be powerful but she kept putting her own self down, telling him that she was defenceless, it could have been a trap but - she could have killed him at any time that she wanted. He uttered, cocking his rugged head to the side." You keep saying that your defenceless and weak but i dont believe that. You can always train your mind and your body to become resilient to those that oppose you." A grin formed over his warm lips as he considered about training her - in order to catch the person who was responsible for taking her abilities. Pursing his lips together he contemplated on a proper way to help." Think of a descriptive way to describe this person. Do you this person's name? You could always give me the names of the enemies." Hearing her intently as a cue to her backstory he heard that she had follower's, raising his head as his facial expression deemed serious but he was more curious." You have followers -  they might be in danger then. We should probably start working tomorrow. We'll rest up and then we'll figure out our plan of attack." Since he was empathetic he would have to have a design in order to catch the person for removing her abilities, Erik was empathetic, he worried that she could or would find out, wanting to be defensive he wanted to come off strong and stern so she would probably back away from him - keeping her small wrist in his hand - keeping his gaze fixated onto hers he raised his brows but his pace of breath became hitched." I've endured all kind's of pain - " Taking a step closer, she was shorter than he was, staring down over her face -  he seemed relatively calm and relaxed, but his tone of voice was husky."  - i've even been locked in a basement and kept in chains where i was tortured over and over by vampire's. I've fought savage packs of werewolves in northern Europe." Clenching his rugged jawline as he realised he was coming off as too intimidating, also his tone of voice had changed into an other worldly tone. Feeling her figure pressed against him once he had diverted away from the dark cloud that had dissipated. Feeling her hand run over his firm rugged hip, raising his shoulders, as his facial expression looked slightly uncomfortable, being pushed back with her small framed body pushing backwards, hitting his lower back against the wooden bar bench. Cocking his head to the side, then straying his eyes back to her gaze." I'm sorry i hurt you." Moving his hand away from her wrist, noticing that she had called his bluff -  he felt cornered but he was enjoying the way she moved against him - it was hard for him to concentrate on the task at hand in order to protect her." I dont trust anyone. I've had people betray me in the past. Your not a prisoner and i'm not going to force you into anything your not comfortable with." Diverting his gaze towards the wooden floorboards, placing his hand over her hips he lowered his head as he was worried about what was about to happen, his nose lightly touched against hers." I have relics and items which can keep you alive. I'm sure we'll find who ever did this to you." Inching his lips closely, placing his lips against hers, biting down on her lower lip -  sucking on her lips as he was a little shocked -  she was too abrupt, when she jumped against him." I dont know if we should do this - " Whispering against her warm lips, placing his firm hands on her top he pulled it over head, turning around quickly he placed her on the wooden bar, keeping his firm hips against her bare hips - lifting his shirt, pulling it off of his rugged masculine body, throwing it to the side. Placing his firm hand underneath her soft face, brushing his lips he let out a sigh down across her jawline. Moving his warm hand down the middle of her back, pulling her closely.
