As the femme finished her story, she could feel Bones eyes on her. Those white orbs were piercing, but she liked the feeling of having his gaze. Her own pinks stared back at him, giving him a small smile. She was thankful that the man had listened through her story, as long as it was. This was the first time she'd opened up in these lands, the first time she'd really bared her soul to anyone but her mother. "Thank you . . . I'll protect you too, Fara. I'm so sorry all of that happened to you, and I'm so sorry for your loss. That sounds truly horrible - I know you're not a killer. You deserve so much more than that." His voice was like music to her ears. He stated he would protect her too.. and that just made her heart flutter. The sympathy she felt through his words was truly astounding. He knew her pain, he understood what she felt. "Thank you.." She whispered. His eyes darted to the cave entrance before his voice began again. "My brother is here, yes. Bastian is who brought me out of my hole, though his is more in his head than mine was physical. He's fearful too. He got involved with a girl here for a night after some weird connection was made with a pink glowing line, and from that he almost had children. They were stillborns, and it scared him so much that he forced the girl to leave him. If those children would have been born alive, and Beartooth found out, Bastian would fear he'd lose everything. He saw no other choice." So Beartooth was the one he was afraid of. Fara was finally connecting the dots - she wasn't ditsy, it was just hard to keep track of everything. But she wanted to for Bones. "Beartooth is a monster of a man, he'd do anything to get to us. So I can't say I blame Bastian, he was only trying to save the girl and himself. But I wish we could just be happy and free, living without fear that one day . . . Everything would be ripped away from us." Fara pursed her lips slightly before shaking her head. "I understand your fears, Bones.. I couldn't imagine having to hide from your own brother. But you've done nothing wrong. Beartooth seems like a coward. He didn't face his problems back in your homelands - he passed the blame to someone who didn't deserve it. You." She said, anger bubbling in her voice. She was upset that Beartooth would cause Bones so much pain. So much suffering.. so much so that he had to hide. "You deserve so much more than having to hide from someone whose a monster. You and Bastian both deserve to be happy and free, to be able to make your own choices." Fara told him, catching his white gaze. "I want you to be free, to be happy, and get to choose what you do in your life." Her voice was barely above a whisper as the smile on her lips appeared once again. Her wings tucked in closer to her sides, a shiver running through her spine. It was warm in the den, but still she could feel the winter air sneaking in through the entrance. "You deserve to live a plentiful life." Fara said, voice strong in her tone. Bones needed to know that he wasn't alone. For some reason, Fara's heart was pulling her closer to this male. He had captured it so freely, that she would have thought he wasn't hiding out. "Have you told Lucaya any of this? Has Bastian? I'm sure she'll never allow you to be hurt on her lands. And like I said, if war is to break out.. you'll have me by your side, ready to protect." Her giggle was soft. Fara was probably the least threatning foe in all of Hawthorne. "Besides. We must have more numbers than Tarben, hm? And Vampires on our side. Lucaya is holding a changing ceremony. I won't be participating, are you? Or Bastian?" Her question might've been a bit blunt, but she didn't really care. She enjoyed getting to know Bones. He was sweet, kind, and incredibly handsome. Once again, the woman shivered and instinctivly she felt herself lean forward and press against Bones for a moment. Immediately, she pulled back and felt her face heating up in a sort of blush. Quickly she clutched her wings tighter to her curvy frame, looking away sheepishly. "I'm sorry. Instinct." Her apology wasn't really one, it might've been more of an excuse to get closer to him. Maybe he'd let her? She already knew his baggage, and he knew hers. There wasn't anyway she was going to push him away. The real question lied in what Bones would do. Would he stay? Or would he leave?
