Breakfast at Sylvain's (D2, MM Sly's Room)

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain took her hands back into his and held them tightly, "Then you find something else to cling to. You fight, and push, and resist anything that seeks to eliminate who you are. That struggle to protect the things you cherish... to tell the whole galaxy that this is where you stand... that you will not relent... you have the strength to fight that battle and to win it."

He moved his hand up to brush Kris' hair out of the corner of her eyes, "Your hair is longer." He said with a slight smile.

He looked into her eyes with sincerity, "You could lose everything, your whole body and still your soul could win this fight. It's never been the exterior that has motivated my admiration for you Kristal. It is your fierce will to do what you know to be right; it is your inner strength that resists even the slightest bit of dishonesty with yourself or from others; and it is your overwhelming devotion to those you cherish that has made you the only woman that I will ever love. And as long as I am allowed to be around you in any capacity, I will see to it that you never forget those things which make you... you."

[Kristal Serasai]

Kristal couldn't come to figure out anything to say. Instead she quickly turned to stand and stepped away from the table, two steps, just enough and turned from him she listened for when Sylvain stood.

[Sylvain Torsin]

He rose slowly not willing to appear to eager or clingy.

[Kristal Serasai]

Turning about on her heel she buried herself against him the moment she felt he was steady. Pressing her cheek hard against his chest as she wrapped her arms arounder him, one warm and one both metallic and cold.

After a moment she softly spoke, "Thank you."

[Sylvain Torsin]

A smile which welled up from deep within Sylvain's heart covered his features as he wrapped his arms around Kristal gently. He softly brushed his hand along her back and kissed her gently on the crest of her head. For several moments he just stood there, enjoying every moment that passed by. He held her close and savored every sensation of warmth and cool that emanated from her as he held him in return.

"Anytime my dear. Anytime..."
