Thread: Can you hear them? |Lagertha x Kosmik_Khoas|

Vince kept his dark eyes locked on Garai as soon as he entered the room, his body going rigid. He didn't say anything, not even to respond to Sani. He didn't trust his mouth to behave. This was for Mixie, not him, so he would sit silently and wait. As they spoke Vince was assaulted by the torrent of emotions Mixie felt. Unconsciously he cupped her thigh just above her knee and gave it a gentle, assuring squeeze. He knew this was painful, confusing, and hellaciously frightening. He could feel her doubting her sanity and the terror of realizing that her nightmares were real. The slew of negative emotions caused a near physical pain in his chest. As they spoke, Garai answering her questions to the best of his abilities Vince found himself liking the man more an more. He wanted the same thing that Vince did. Mixie's safety and happiness. With out realizing it Vince began to lightly caress Mixie's thigh, feeding sincere understanding, confidence to confront the truth, and the knowledge that she was no longer alone in the world, that she had him now, until she either broke the bond, or he drew his last breath. He fed her his desire to protect her from everything that could hurt her in any way. He wanted to reach out to her and wipe away her tears but restrained himself for the moment. Not in front of the others. He wouldn't make her fell like a weak child in front of the others. He knew though their bond she was stronger than that and it would only serve to piss her off. When Garai suggested she slept Vince nodded. Taking in a deep breath and releasing it slowly he spoke. Thank you Garai. Those three words were filled with sincerity, not only on his behalf but for Mixie as well. I will speak more with you later, I am sure there are some things that the two of us need to discuss. He said standing and looking down at Mixie. She looked so fragile at the moment, like a porcelain doll that could break under the lightest of pressures. It had most certainly been a trying day for the girl. Without speaking aloud he told her though the bond that he was taking her to bed. Lifting her from the couch with ease he cradled her in his arms with the tenderness of a long time lover. He made sure that the bottom of the shirt was caught behind her knees so she would not flash anyone. She was still new to the lifestyle and he knew nudity was something that she would have to grow accustomed to. Carrying her back to the room he kept her in his arms and he sat on the edge of the bed, holding her slightly curled against his chest. Everything will be alright. I won't let it be any other way. He said lowering his face to plant a tender kiss on her forehead. Swinging his legs onto the bed he laid down with her still in his arms, held to his bare chest and began to stroke her back, staring at the ceiling not speaking, just feeling her though the bond and doing everything he could to comfort her back through it. Angi looked at Sani and Garai, back and forth a few times before letting out a heavy, loud sigh. I am confused as fuck. She said reaching up to rub her temples. Sani I am going to steal your bed for a while. I am exhausted, pissed off, upset and confused. I need to sleep. She said looking to the old man who nodded with a soft smile. Thank you. She replied and went off to lay down. Stopping before she entered the hallway she turned and glanced over her shoulder. Your pack, or ex pack. They are going to attack aren't they? She asked, then shrugged. You know what. I rather not hear the answer I already know. Sani, please be careful. I don't want to loose anymore people care about, and Garai, if you betray our trust, I swear to the Gods I will hunt you to the ends of the world and do things to you that that will give the Devil nightmares, and once I die, I will hunt you again in the afterlife. She said her voice frozen steel to match the glare she shot him. Turning away she went down the hall and climbed into Sani's bed, falling asleep before her head even hit the pillow. Sani looked to Garai. She is serious to. He said with a solemn tone. Stepping forward he clapped his hand on Garai's bare shoulder. Let's get you some food, then we will go back out. I don't care to be in here with the threat against my people waiting on the outside. He said leading Garai to the kitchen and fixing him a bowl of the venison stew. If what you said was true boy. About Mixie and her abilities, Vince is in for one hell of a ride isn't he? Especially since he has imprinted on the girl. He asked fixing himself a bowl of stew. If he was going into battle, which always held the potential of death, he wasn't going to do it with an empty stomach.
