Exactly! If you really cared about someone you could never say such hateful and hurtful things. I mean not if the feelings were still there and were real.

[He laughs softly and smiles.] What am I going to do with you? Clearly you need supervision. [His tone is teasing and playful as he nods at this.] Don't worry I'll babysit you.

[Logically, he knows that if she were truly in danger she'd have done or said something to get his attention but it never hurt to be attentive either. What if there was a time she could't do anything? Best not risk it. But rather than press it all she gets is a soft - ] Okay.

[He shouldn't have done that and he's still weirded out by his purring thing but she's so warm and so kind. He can't help but want so bash in that gentle radiance that only comes to him in her presence. He's soaking it up like a sponge.

Feeling her hand starting to pet his hair, that redoubles the purring; it's louder and more obvious. His head is leaning, pressing into that touch. His own hands sliding along her back slowly. He wants to give her that same comfort but doesn't know how exactly.]

I can't see anyone not loving you, My Lady.
