[ Whatever she thinks about their relationship, he feels no such thing. Beleth helps soothe the fire inside him more than anyone else, even when she doesn't even realize she's doing it. He loves her, and he wishes she'd believe that instead of doubting herself all the damn time.
When she makes the promise, he doesn't argue with her. He'll respect any decision she makes with her full heart like that. He rubs his hands up and down her sides. ]
[ She curls up against him, pressing little kisses to his cheek and his jaw as her arms loosely loop around his waist. She does doubt herself, she doubts herself constantly, but Merrick...makes her feel better about it. She didn't feel like a pale imitation of someone else.
Maybe she soothes that fire because she takes a little bit of it inside of herself. ]
I know, Merrick. You're a good man. One of the best.
[ She rests her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. ]
