She touches his hand, gentle, careful, as if she's uncertain of her reception. "I'm so glad," she tells him. "That you are not afraid of me."
Those words, 'my dragon', make her heart speed up, make her WANT. "When you kissed me, I, nothing has ever felt that good before."
An understanding that she has no words for echoes through her from elsewhere, makes her breath catch as if in pain. An understanding of the dangers power and position can bring to relationships between people. An understanding that coercion can wear a thousand faces more subtle than a naked threat. "You are..vulnerable, right now. I could not bear it, if you thought you needed to, to sate my appetites," she flushes as red as her complexion will allow. "to protect yourself, or as a kind of repayment."
She looks down, afraid of what she might see in his eyes. "I would not want anything of you that you would not offer me gladly if our positions were reversed, Skellig."
