With a gasping breath, she pulls away as he does. Her heart is still racing, flushed skin begging to return to that place against his. Duly, she notes the shift in his wings. Feathers have been replaced with taught skin and sharp bone, beautiful in their strength. It does high light a problem though, underscored by his next phrase. The cerulean fire of her eyes flashes with a mixture of lust and determination. "And I don't think you realize just how stubborn I am, Castile." Her chin lifts in defiance, daring him to contradict her.
He was dangerous. In more ways than he seemed to realize, though the bloodlusting reptile was surely a consideration. It was as though she'd known him a whole lifetime. The way she wanted to protect him, to make him happy.... if he was content with a life of seclusion, so be it. But she didn't think that was truth, and she knew there had to be another way. "If you hurt me, I know it would not be intentional. Hell, it would probably even be my fault. But I think you're stronger than that." She closed the distance between them again, pressing a cheek to the hollow of his neck gently. "Your heart is bigger than his violence. Don't let him win, Cas..." She finished in a voice hardly above a whisper. She wished she could save him, challenge the dragon and beat it into submission. But it was ultimately his fight.
