The Immortals' Realm Unleashed *Accepting*

[s y n]

The thoughts that normally consumed Tristan's head now quieted and slowed, he made about his actions as if he were just an innocent, naive man ecstatic to marry the girl of his dreams. The way it should be. The way it was supposed to be. Due to his exposure to the world's evil so young in his life. . . The way it never would be.

They didn't hurt her yet- like Tristan had said she might not make it past the birth- but they probably would later on. Except she'd do anything to know that he'd been committed enough to help her survive the birth, having offspring with him... maybe they wouldn't even be the first.

Tristan had one thought that re-accured to him - What did Kadina think of him, really, when it came to his sexual prowess? She couldn't be completely fine with the fact that he had many, many different loves and many different children he didn't know. Was she okay with it? He wanted to know now that the thought dropped into his mind. She understood that none of them meant anything to him, he knew that, but did she find that a good thing or a bad thing, that he could just leave women impregnated with vampire children and not even give a second thought as to what would happen in the future?

[Lilo.]

The thought that maybe one day Tristan would leave her always nibbled at her mind but she decided to not bring it up- she should perhaps just let their relationship be and hope that he'd always be with her. Hope is one tricky thing. It gets you all happy then it can either bring us down or make you happier. Kadina just hoped that she'd be made happier that he wouldn't leave her when the child was born.

Tristan pulled away, gazing deeply into Kadina's eyes. "You're not worried, right?" he asked, just to assure his thoughts. "That I'll leave you, that is?" he questioned, this time specifying just what he meant. "Because I just want to make it clear that I'd never do anything like that to you, and I'd just like to make sure that you're certain that with us it's different."

[Lilo.]

Kadina sighed. "If I'm honest with you, I'm actually pretty worried... all the time..." She shook her head as if she shouldn't of said that in front of him. "But I have no choice but to take your word for it." She shrugged, like it was simple but deep down it wasn't anything simple.

"Ah, maybe I'm not as persuasive as I thought I was." Tristan replied with an easy, lop-sided smile. "Look, I know how when I have a past - maybe even a bit of a habit, persay - of doing things like that, just look at the girls it happened to. None of them were in any way like you. None of them made me feel the way I do now, and I wouldn't be defending my case to any of them, because if there's one thing I don't like, it's leading people on. That probably didn't make you trust me any more than you did before, huh?" he chuckled.

[Lilo.]

"In what way were they different than I, and I different than them?" Kadina wondered- all girls he dated seemed the same to her, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference in them, except she'd never actually tell him that in person in case he was offended.

"I don't know how to explain it, really. You have this... Spark in you, let's say. I had initially told myself that you would be no different, however I guess deep down I knew that wasn't true. Intrigued by this spark - for lack of a better word - I saw, I decided to persue you. Little did I know it would turn into so much more." Tristan said with an almost dreamy sigh. "Not sure how I did it - these past few years have been somewhat a lovestruck blur though I remember every conversation, every kiss, everything we've ever done or shared together - but I apparently won you over."

[Lilo.]

"You have won me over, totally. After all, I am marrying you. That means you must have won me over more than is humanly possibly." Kadina chuckled lightly with a surpressed yawn- somehow being away from Tristan, even though vampires didn't need sleep, made her tired.
