HER GRIP ON HIS SHOULDERS IS BORDERLINE CRUSHING , and , upon realizing this , ahura releases him suddenly . he isn’t wrong : if she left him now , she would NEVER find a love like his again ( and she would never FORGIVE HERSELF for it ) . blood rushes beneath the surface of his skin & she can hear it POUNDING IN HER EARS , as if even his body is trying to persuade her .
❛ caius , ❜ she warns , voice dropping a few octaves lower as it wraps around his name . the look in her eye is PLEADING , begging him to reconsider . ❛ i have lived MANY LIFETIMES . everyone i have ever LOVED has long since died . this life is a curse ... and i do not want to hurt you . ❜
