Lawrence held her down as he struggled, looking frustrated for a moment before his attention is caught. His eyes flicker down to her neck, eyeing the scar.
One of the hands move from her shoulder, instead moving to her neck. The tips of his fingers brush against the scarred skin, somewhat gently. He could see where the first push of what looked like a knife goes into her skin. The ragged edges, it wasnt very clean. Lawrence would have done so much better- so much smoother.
His face burned. He wanted to know what she sounded like when they did it, whoever it was who took her voice from her. Did she scream? What did-
A particularly hard jerk as she struggled startled him out of his trance, quickly looking up at her. The gentle hand twitches against her throat, an involuntary threat- but he doesnt tighten his grip.
He looks up at her, eyes widening a bit. She wasnt looking at him- sulking. Was she upset? Oh- oh-
“ I . . Im sorry, look- “ His other hand lifts from her pinned shoulder, though he still straddles her so she cant run. He lightly pets her neck, like calming a frightened animal. “ I . . I got upset, I’m sorry, I just . . I really need your help. I dont want to be a - arrested . Im not very good with . . with people. But you look like you know what to - um - to do. Please. “
He tries to catch her eyes, tilting his head to look at her instead of moving her head to him.
“ I mean it . . Please . “
So... Not only did he hit her then pin her to the ground... But now...His gaze is straight on her neck, she can see it from the corner of her eye...this weirdo... It looks like he likes what he’s seeing and now... touching! god damn him she hates this! she hates that people watch her scar, still... It’ll make her shiver and suck a breath in, his touch is gentle, soft even, it has been long since someone touched her like that...She doesn’t hate it, and she’ll even blush, but... No, she does hate it and she’ll buck, making him almost strangle her, She won't dare to move for a second, still glaring at him, his actions kind of pushed her to watch him in the end.
As he let go of her shoulder she will give him the double finger because she’s classy like that, and then she’ll try to slap him, to hiss at him, but again, without sound, it’s just her showing her teeth, kicking the air and trying to get him off her but hell... He’s too heavy and on her, she hates when people touch her, and he’s just burning her nerves away... although... He did kill a lot of people... She could use this man, use him to protect her forest, have him as... a friend, he has a fair amount of strength.
She’ll let out a growl by rolling the back of her throat in a kind of purring sound and let her hand fall before crossing them, she’ll then gesture towards him as if to ask for money, hoping he’ll understand that she wants something in return for her help, after all, it’d only be fair, this fucker’s making her go through a lot of pain while ...”Politely” asking for her help.
