It was sort of news to her that he had been planning to leave before she had come. It warmed her heart, filling her with a great love for him at it. While he likely became fascinated with her, it was really sweet to hear that he had stayed simply because she had asked him to.

"It's a good off topic," she commented with a kiss to his cheek in love, but then nodded that he should continue with what he was feeling.

It seemed he had a desire to be free, and by her befriending him, she had kept him in that cage of a city. He forced himself to be human because of her. Thoughts of the afternoon that she yelled at him came streaming back at his mention of it. She nodded in response, saddened slightly that he had thought she didn't want to be friends because he was Kelvic. He then revealed that when his family came and she wanted them to leave to Zeltiva, he changed because he was free. Free to be himself, something that Syliras held him back from. He had decided without her that he couldn't change, that he was going to keep being the animal despite what he had said to her. He encouraged her not to put down herself and her feelings, to which she nodded.

"Moon, I have seen such a change in you over the past year. You might not realize it, but think back how shy you were when you met me. To tell the truth, you were kind of quiet and awkward. I saw you meeting that vendor just recently and you weren't nearly as shy. You hugged your best friend goodbye and you felt emotion, sad emotions at leaving him. I have seen your care for me just increase ten fold." 

"Look, even here in this conversation. Before, you would have said a few words, but now you've told me how you feel, how it affects you, your thoughts- all of it is such a human-like improvement. I don't know much about our bond, but I share feelings with you, and sometimes I feel like...running naked through the woods with you all," she stated nervously, confessing only her deepest fears to her husband. "It makes sense that you would have felt how to seem human. Your mother, your sister...if you hadn't told me they were Kelvic, I'd never have known. They have learned to both be human and free. I am sure it wasn't easy, but you can't give up. Please don't give up on that. I fell in love with that human side of you just as much as I did in your animal side. You giving up on it is not okay to me. I encourage you to go fly, I encourage you to be your eagle self, but there are times when I want you to understand me better, and that can only come through trying to be more human. Just as I can only understand you sometimes by being more animal...right?" 

She knew what she was saying. She had a long line of warriors in her family, and that animalistic urge to hunt, survive, and thrive was there even within the quiet tentmaker. All the more common it was for her to want it, to get excited at it because of their bond. She wouldn't tell him the thoughts, desires, and passions she had about hunting and being wild with him. He could feel passions and desires feel the bond briefly as he mind trailed that way, but was quieted by a deep breath and a bright look to him.

"I hope you don't think I am trying to cage you like Syliras did. I don't want to cage you...ever. I want you to feel free. Right now, you can go and be free on the winds if you want, to think of what I've said and I won't care. But you know...you can feel free with me, here, walking beside me as a human because you want to. Both are free, both are who you are, right?"

She hoped she made sense. Despite her stubbornness, Elann was not a good arguer, but she had confessed her feelings and awaited to see what he would say about them. Whatever he seemed to say, she wasn't sad or angry with him, but still seemed to have a gentle tone and a soft pleading smile on her face. It felt good to get all of it out and to hear his feelings on the matter.
