“I do, darling.” Astaroth insists, because he isn’t going to lie to her. Not that he wants to anyway, but that ring she’d mentioned before would only sell the point that he isn’t lying about it. But he can see how she grows more and more upset and he has little to offer except his honesty. Parts of it, not giving away the full truth of what he’d done back then. And while he works at the Dusklight, the only one he had fucked since awakening was Danta, despite the attempts to send multiple people to his door. Precisely because of this.
Clearing his throat as he hears her bite back the cry of pain from her shoulder, his red shirt darkening as blood bubbles against it, spreading into one of those white flowers. Frowning sharply he shakes his head, stumbling for words uncharacteristically for him. “I would bite them in the wrong places. They would bleed out.” He admits quietly, watching as she speaks again and stands unaided, his tail coils around his leg and he withdraws his hand back to his lap, peering up at her quietly.
“I do not want to hurt you.” He tries to push the point. It wasn’t that simple, he knows that. But he isn’t any ordinary simple man, either. He stands a moment later, his height back to its full amount as he works his jaw a brief moment, muscles feathering in it. “I’m sorry, Flora.”
