Jade wriggled upwards, so now Croy's arms were locked all the way around her. "I'm nearly free!" She taunted, pulling her arm away to mess up his hair.

 
"Noo, you just got yourself more caught up in me!" He laughed. "You know, thats not the way your supposed to get out. And your just petting my ear."

He grinned, and the lower, more animalistic ears fell back, because he was enjoying the touch.

A waft of foul- smelling odor emitted from the hole in which he had been hiding... Dani said nothing.

 
Jade scrunched up her face. "I told you my instincts suck!" Still, she kept petting his ear. "Does this bother you?"

 
A feeble cry, that a may have somehow been deciphered as a plea, but was possibly just an unitentional whimper, worked its way out of the entrance. Dani may not have been responding, simply because he could not.

"Nope." He smiled a little, his longer, elf-like ears also leaning back in case she missed the bigger ones and stroked them instead. "This feels great."

 
She gently reached up with her other arm, and started petting the ears on the other side of his face as well. She became silent, pensive.

 
Slowly, Croy let go of her, his hands falling by his sides limply.

Dani was at the bottom, in a crumpled pile, surrounded by a a ring or soil and rock, covered and dampened by blood and... and some other strange, fowl-smelling bile of sorts, and well as chunks of and unknown source. Dani wasnt lying- this was indeed a messy process.

Dani himself wasnt looking all to good- as if he was only just now starting to heal from the slow, painful process. His hair was matted and falling down around his face in uneven streaks, his eyes were partly open, yet staring at nothing. His skin- his fair, cool, once beautiful skin- all the skin that was exposed, was bloody, bruised, and almost transparent. Some places, it was still broken. Here, in this state, Dani looked more like some sort of alien then a human.

Almost as a reaction to Isaac, Dani started to seemingly gag, revolt, and spat out spatters of blood on the wall.

 
But by this point, Jade didn't feel like "escaping" anymore. She kept petting his ears, studying him, his face, everything. She saw him in the way the rest of the world didn't. She found beauty in him. When she said he was beautiful, she wasn't lying. She was viewing things in a different light. Plus, most of the humans she had met were horrible to her, and some were truly hideous. She was a creature, a spirit. Not a human. When she looked at beauty, well, she didn't look for things humans called beautiful.

 
"I love you." Croy whispered. "Your voice, your touch... your soul, everything."

Dani let out another little whimper, one that was so delacate and pitiful that it would inspire sympathy for him, in almost any state he was in. Almost.

 
She smiled slightly, the right side of her mouth moving upward. In reply, she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I love you too. More than you'll ever understand." She kept petting his ears, still studying him. Deep down, she was always grateful that she would never die, and that he was a deity. She had forever, with him. And, while they probably would have big arguments, and wouldn't see eye to eye, she knew that she would always love him. It was odd, in a way, feeling unconditional love for someone who wasn't related to you. She never thought she could.

 
Croy seemed to keep his feelings guarded- his opinions locked away. Maybe not intentionally, maybe not because he was hiding anything- but this was how it was for him, and he was accostumed to keeping himself in check. He never, however, kept his lover for her behind any bar, lock or key.

Keeping in mind his state, Dani had also spoken of how the process took a day or two, never longer then three. However, this one had stretched over the span of at least five days, and Dani was looking exausted and dehydrated, and starving. As much of that as you could pull out of his already pained state.

 
Jade eventually whispered, "You know... I didn't really want to break out of your grip, to be honest." She laughed quietly. "It's weird, right?" Looking back on it, the only person she had ever truly felt strong emotions for, before Croy of course, was her father. Everyone else had seemed threatening, or she knew that soon, they would be gone. So, she would try to avoid those people, or she wouldn't connect. She would speak to them. Nothing more. Because, she had only known humans. She was meant to be with creatures. She was meant to care for them, she understood now. Perhaps that was why her attempt at being friends with the human camp had failed.

 
"I don't think there's anything wrong with being weird," She told him, still laughing. "Besides, you're still with me. That must mean you don't mind, either!" She removed one of her hands from his ears, and took one of his hands in hers.
