NOAH
I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
The hunter could not give room for himself to care about scaring her. He hadn't meant to, and he knew she would not be scarred for the rest of her life. What she could be scarred by, however, was what had happened to her on the tundra. "Delphine..where have you been? What happened? Did the dragon hurt you?" He pushed her up some and slid his body out from under her to bring himself up to a sitting position. He held her by the shoulders and looked her up and down, turning her body and manipulating it so he could see all of her. "I was so worried about you. I searched every day and could not find you."
He scooted close to her and pulled her against him again. He breathed in her scent and let the comforting feeling of her warm body pressed against his fill his heart. He did not want to let her go, even as she mentioned the fire. "I don't care about the fire. I only care about you." The hunter's eyes welled up as he held her, his arms tightening around her as he pressed his cheek into her golden hair.
