![]() Which, let’s be honest, wasn’t much different from my normal day-to-day.Īnyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter. We learn a little bit more about Leo’s past. “You….what?” Leo looked genuinely shocked. His hands paused on the bandage he was working on. “I….can’t help what my mind does sometimes or what I dream. But I know….I feel a bit more comfortable when you’re around. Does that sound bad? I sounded better in my head.” A soft pink tinted your cheeks in embarrassment. He seemed uninterested in the fact that you were laid out, half-naked before him.īut first we need to take care of these.” He motioned to the various cuts on your torso and arms. “Do demons carry….things?” He looked at you to explain further. They can’t control me if they scratch me, right?” “Can you catch things from them like with the Wracken blood. I think that one just wanted to kill you anyway. It takes a great deal of courage to fight in spite of being scared. You’d make a fine warrior.” Coming from him, that was quite the compliment. Although, sometimes the healer needs healing.” “I….think I’ll just stick to healing.” You couldn’t imagine yourself out on the battlefield, along side him and the others. You nodded and told him everything to do. He gathered all the supplies and followed your instructions professionally. He didn’t say much other than asking questions about what was next. His fingers skimmed over your skin lightly but didn’t try to touch you otherwise. While he was working, you mind wandered back to something Alek had said. “Alek told me about your weapons and how you like to enchant them.” “Hmm?” He was working on a bandage on your arm but didn’t stop. I spent a lot of time learning how to do it.” “It’s a little extra insurance for defense. “How long did you take to learn about making knots?” #Mvs nightmare in the dark boot how to Without thinking, you smiled at his face. He looked panicked for a half a second and it was odd to see. He was always so cold and composed and he was clearly caught now. Leo removed his hands from you and backed away a step. “It’s finished, I’ll get you some clothes.” He spoke quickly and left the room just as fast. You stared after him with your mouth agape. Was he mad that you knew or was he embarrassed? You weren’t necessarily upset that he’d lied to you, just intrigued as to why. You took a look at the bandages that Leo had done and they looked good. You had suspicions that he had experience in healing as well. There was certainly more to the man than he let on. It hurt, but you brought your knees up to your chest as much as you could. Although you were aching all over, you felt exposed.Īfter a few minutes, Leo came back into the room with what looked like a robe. He handed it to you and you noticed that it wasn’t yours. “I didn’t know what you needed so I brought that until you can get back to your room. It’s mine but it’s clean.” You nodded and pulled the robe around your shoulders and put your arms through. “Thank you, Leo.” He nodded his head once and reached forward to pick you up. You tensed in embarrassment and he stopped. “If that’s what you want.” He backed away but didn’t leave the room. “Why did you ask me to tie the knots?” You asked so abruptly that Leo held a momentary look of surprise before the ice froze his features again. ![]() ![]() “I was trying to think of a way to talk to you.
