Cecilia shook her head, a bit startled at the kiss, the previously fading pink now rising back to stain her cheeks. "It's not your fault, Tier," she said softly. "Those people knew what they were doing and planned it perfectly. They are hustlers for the market and take what they want when they want. It's enough that I've dealt with them before but the thought of going back was enough for me to panic," she explained gently.
She had sensed the buildings and things they passed, able to recognize when they were back at the Inn as well without him telling her. "But thank you for coming after me," she murmured.

“There is no reason for you to thank me. I feel like I should protect you from such evil beings,” Tier said with a smile. He led her into the inn, closing the door after they had entered. He then walked her up to the room that they shared.
“I will try better to protect you from such people better than I did today,” the animagus told her. “I want you to be safe, Cecilia.” He smiled a bit, running his fingers through her hair once more.
They reached the room, and Tier opened the door for her.

She smiled at him, idly wondering why he felt he should before she shrugged it off, deciding not to ask right now. She enjoyed the feel of his fingers in her hair, it was comforting in a way that was different from her brother's. She rather liked the feeling as she let him lead the way to the room they had shared.
Entering, she counted the steps from the door to the table, sitting down in one of the chairs so she would be out of the way. "Then I won't stop you if you feel like you should do that," she said with a brilliant smile at him.

“Well, thank you for allowing me to protect you, Cecilia,” Tier said with a smile. “I hope you do not run away from me for doing so, though. I think I would have to track you down if you just disappeared on me, honestly.”
He walked over and stood beside the half breed, letting his fingers slip through her hair once more. “You should go take your bath, Cecilia. Go in there and relax for a little bit, you know. I think today was more than a little ordeal for the both of us.” The animagus had been more than a little worried about Cecilia when she had disappeared.

Cecilia nodded, biting on her bottom lip as she resisted the urge to apologize again, instead rising and heading to the bathroom to take a bath as Tier had suggested.
She shut the door to the bathroom and drew her bath, shedding the now dirty dress before stepping into the bath herself. She dunked herself below the water, letting the dirt and mud wash off her and running her fingers through her hair to get out the dirt and twigs before coming back up.
Taking a deep breath, she splashed some water over her face and body, taking time to just relax and get clean as Tier had suggested. Once she finished, she stepped out and dried herself off, wrapping her body in a towel that reached her knees. She picked up her dress and ran a delicate hand over it, feeling the dirt. Frowning, she decided to wash the dress and hoped Tier wouldn't mind her state of dress or rather undress as it was.
Dunking the dress in the tub, she scrubbed at it, hands running over the dress to make sure that it was clean before wringing the water out until it was damp and setting it out to dry. She bit her lip and shifted on her feet, unsure of if she wanted to walk out without her dress on but decided to do it anyways.
Opening the door, she partially hid behind it. "My dress was dirty so I had to wash it," she said as she slipped out to go sit on the bed, drawing the blanket around her shoulders in addition to the towel.

“Oh, that’s fine,” Tier said before looking up to see Cecilia walk out of the bathroom and into the main room. She was wearing only a towel, and the first response that came to the animagus was to blush and look away.
Now, Tier had seen many beings naked in his lifetime. He was no young one. He knew the human anatomy of both females and males, yet for whatever reason, he could not help but to blush as he saw Cecilia walk into the room. She was absolutely breathtaking, and she had no idea how beautiful she was. Even her embarrassment was very cute and just added to her charm.
The animagus ran a hand through his hair as he watched her walk over and sat upon the bed. He debated whether or not to walk over and sit with her, but he was starting to think that staying in the chair he was in might be best. She may become very self conscious or uncomfortable if he got up and moved closer.
“You know, you are very beautiful, Cecilia,” Tier said, blush still burning in his cheeks.

Cecilia blushed as her hands came out of the tiny den and toyed with her damp hair. It didn't hide her face as it usually did when she tilted her head forward, but that didn't stop her from trying. "Thank you, I guess," she said softly as her fingers worked through her hair, getting the knots out.
The blind halfbreed could only accept what other people thought of her as she had no real idea of what others construed as beauty, she only had personalities and touch. Touch never lied, she had found out, when it came to discerning a person's inner beauty.

Tier smiled a bit before standing from his chair and deciding to walk over to Cecilia. He sat down beside her and gently ran his fingers over her cheek. His eyes took in the blush that was still plainly painted upon her cheeks.
“You are beautiful, even though you cannot see it,” the animagus said. “And I know such things like beauty do not matter to you, but I think you should be told how truly gorgeous you are.”
He allowed his fingers to trail through her hair as he watched her, smiling a bit to himself again.

The blind halfbreed blushed even more, color rising again to make her cheeks rather red as she bit her lower lip, eyes closing. They were useless anyways and she didn't think that they were pretty anyways, since she'd never seen them and she didn't think Tier really cared.
When she finally felt that she had her blush under control, she lifted her head up to turn towards Tier. She was still a bit shy, but she figured that it would pass, she thought as she sent him a brilliant, happy smile. "Thank you," she said, with just a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

“You can thank me, even though I think it is unnecessary to thank someone for the truth,” Tier said with a smile. He slipped an arm gently around her shoulders. His free hand moved up, pressing itself gently up against the side of Cecilia’s face.
There was something mesmerizing about the blind half breed that the animagus could not quite pinpoint. He was simply drawn to her, and he could not help it at all. Every time he saw her, he wanted to go to her and just caress her in his arms.
Tier gave a slow smile before leaning down and kissing her lips gently, his eyes closing on contact.

Cecilia started at the sudden contact, her lips parting in a surprised gasp before she found herself kissing him back, having grown quite attached to the animagus over the time they had been traveling together. Her kiss was shy, like she was at times, but also full of the curiosity that she exhibited to the world around her.
She knew what a kiss was of course, she and her brother kissed each other's cheeks and heads but never on the lips. This was different, but nice and she decided that she rather liked it and trusted Tier as well.

Tier could not help but give a slight smile. He kissed her once more before slowly pulling away from her lips. The animagus ran his fingers through Cecilia’s hair, smiling once more as he sat back a bit to watch her.
“I hope that wasn’t uncalled for,” he said to her gently. “I just could not help it. But I do apologize if it was something that you did not want. I can stop pestering you if you want, you know, Cecilia.”
His eyes watched her carefully, interested in her reaction more than anything. He hoped that she was alright with what had just happened.

Cecilia blushed as she shifted in her seat, blue eyes fluttering open as she seemed to stare at her hands in her lap, biting her bottom lip with her teeth as she shook her head. "It's fine, Tier," she said softly, a shy smile spreading across her lips as she tucked some of the damp strands behind her ear.
She shivered slightly, a bit cold as a draft kicked in with the sun setting and her damp hair hanging down her back. She instinctively tucked the blanket around her, wishing that her dress was dry and she could put it on, but knew she had to be patient.

“Here, let me get you one of my shirts,” Tier said, standing up. “It would be better to wear than just a wet towel and a blanket.”
The animagus walked over to his possessions and sorted through them quickly. He took out one of his shirts before walking back over to Cecilia. He knew that the shirt would be rather massive on her, but it would help to keep her warm.
“Here you go,” he said. “And do not argue it. Just put it on. I know it will help to keep you warm.” Tier glanced down at the clothes he wore. He was still a bit dirty, and he had not addressed this. “I think it might be my turn to get a bath.”

"Okay," she said, as she reached out a tiny hand and took the shirt, fingers exploring it as she figured out which end was it. "I won't go anywhere, promise," she said with a light laugh, showing him she was over the events of the day.
She had a faint blush across her cheeks, a tiny dusting of pink across her nose that made her look even more adorable than she already was. Cecilia tilted her head to the side and waited until Tier was in the bathroom before changing into the shirt.
It was huge on her, hanging to her knees and she sleeves covering her hands rather well as part of it gaped down over her shoulder. She sighed and pulled her hair over one shoulder beginning the usual task of braiding it until it dried.

Tier went off to the bathroom and started up a bath for him. He felt as though he was doing a pretty good job of keeping himself cleaned. The animagus had been known to go for long periods of time without washing, but this usually just occurred when he was living out in the wilderness. Whenever he was in his animal form, the thought of bathing constantly escaped him.
After a few minutes, Tier came back into the bedroom. He smiled as he saw Cecilia wearing his shirt. He gave a slight laugh before walking over and sitting with her.
“You look really nice, Cecilia,” he said before giving her a kiss on the cheek. “I think my shirt fits you very well.”

Cecilia wrinkled her nose, knowing full well he was playing around. She stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit braver now that she was clothed again, despite it being Tier's shirt. "It looks like a dress on me," she giggled, one hand coming up to rest in front of her mouth. "I am certain that it probably looks better on you," she said as she tilted her head to face him, hair now braided and hanging down her back rather like a tail.
"You know if you don't like sitting in a human form all the time, you can change into whatever you want, I don't mind," she said with a shy smile.

“Well, the thing is… If I am not in my human form, I would have a hard time kissing your lips,” Tier said before leaning down and kissing her lips gently. The animagus gave a smile as he pulled away from her lips to look down into her face. He ran his fingers lightly over her cheek before leaning down and kissing Cecilia once more.
Tier seemed unable to help himself. Cecilia did draw him in rather well by just being herself. He wanted to continue to kiss her and simply not stop. He would allow her to explore, too. He could only assume that he was the first person she had ever kissed upon the lips.

Cecilia had started to say something and been stopped by the touch of his lips on hers. Whenever he kissed her, she felt butterflies erupt in her stomach, making her happy and nervous at the same time, a sensation she was not used to but was rather growing to like when she was around Tier.
At his words though, she had a faint dusting of color on her cheeks again, and she kissed him back, her lips a light pressure against his as she became shy as well. One of her hands had risen to rest on his shoulder, delicate fingers curling into the cloth of his shirt.

Tier slipped his arms around Cecilia kissing her lips once more. He moved her back against the bed gently, not wanting her to feel threatened by him. He laid there against her, kissing her lips once more.
He was enjoying these soft touches between them. The kisses seemed to help to clarify his feelings for her. He cared deeply for the blind half breed. He could not explain why, but perhaps that was for the best.
The animagus moved away from Cecilia’s lips to look at her. His fingers gently moved over her cheek as he watched her.
