Swiftcurrent Creek [m] Nothing will stop me; you crave the creature in me

As always pls yell at me if you have a concernnn, I had an idea for this and wanted to flop it on the board before it died
Don't mind me I found a better thread title

Reverie had noticed a change in @Lestan. Or, she thought she did. Maybe she was just so afraid of it that she was imagining things, seeing problems where there were none? She had been so nervous ever since settling here, ever since she had decided to let Lestan really know her. Expecting this, in a way. So maybe it was just in her head? No… no, she felt that something was truly wrong this time. So one day when he woke, after they'd said their good mornings and settled a little (she had not slept, but stayed by his side through the night), she looked to Lestan with a lump lodged in her throat already, and her voice came out whisper-soft when she said:
Lestan, Hesitant, lingering over the words just a moment too long. Am I… making you unhappy? Just saying the words brought the threat of tears to her, but she held them back. Reverie did not want to make Lestan feel unsafe in expressing his feelings, so she tried to stay composed as she presented the question.
