Siglos's eyes widened, the Everian raising his head slightly to look at her face, though her chest obscured his view.Sylvia merely continued to curl up, her adamantine figure beginning to... shudder and tremble, her breathing becoming erratic as she hugged Siglos into her body.
"Don't... leave me alone..."
"Please..."
"I-... I'll do better... just..."
"Don't leave me..."
Sylvia began whispering to herself as she slept, her complexion paling.
"…L-leave…?" Siglos said quietly. He didn't understand, unable to fully process the meaning behind her words.
“…She…she’s afraid I’ll…leave her…?” Siglos thought. Sylvia's behavior made sense, the reason she asked him to stay with her becoming clear in his mind.
“…is it…because of me…?” Siglos thought. He remembered Cain's words, how she said he needed to show Sylvia more love. A brief burst of panic spread through his body, wondering inwardly if he was making her more miserable than he realized.
"…." Siglos said nothing for a moment, wrapping his arms tighter around Sylvia's waist as she pulled him in.
“…I-I….I w-will..n-never l-leave y-you…Sylvia…” Siglos said softly, his voice cracking audibly. Sadness overtook the Everian, his body beginning to tremble in her grasp.
"I-I…I w-will…a-always b-be y-your mate." Siglos whispered. He shifted his head towards Sylvia's stomach again, showering her flesh with multiple, deep kisses, running his lips across her stomach, hoping it would soothe her worries, even if unconsciously.
