The Sunspire Falling Away

He supposed, then, it could be a fault of his own that she had not accepted his overly gracious offer. After all, had Raheerah even taken the tome to elaborate on the reasoning behind his prompt? She was fortunate that Raheerah was modest. As modest as a wild monster could be. Even so, such modesty could be questionable if it did not bode in his favor. But he was accepting of his folly, recognizing that it was he who lacked in his argument this time.

He eyed her, watching as she threatened to rise. But some wisdom got the better of her and she remained as is. At the same time, he tried to find a way to coax his desires into pleasant words. "Yoouu are not so different from Lhaamm." He began, though she wouldn't know who he spoke of. He doubted she would even know of the hybrid had he spoken her name. "It muust be with unassuuuming innocence that you regaarrd me, and it is thaat which I wish to preseerrve." Raheerah rumbled and huffed, giving a brief shake of his head, which in turn shook his coat. Would she find his reasoning suspicious? He wouldn't blame her, she did not know entirely why he valued her innocence.
