Ashleigh worried a bit more, but was currently silent.

" I know how it works, I'm at the top of the food chain, member?"

She asked, moving to kiss him, nuzzling him a half second.

" sorry.. I am worried, is all."

Darryn just shook his head, dipping his chin down. He looked away, and his teeth extended. however, one thing had obviously changed. He no longer thought loud, so that motivation behind it was not clear.

Darryn looked up at her now, quiet however. Was she looking for his opinion, or was she just talking to herself out loud?

Ashleigh looked at Darryn.

" Come on, your with me. I am sorry I... I ..."

she was struggling. If she'd told them they were married, that would have put Darryn in a position he likely didn't want to be in, cause they had been working for several years to push Her onto Damian, and vice versa. It was an attempt neither party cared for, or against originally. Kind of like Switzerland, but now, Ashleigh cared.

Marrying Darryn would not shut people up though, unless Damian was dead. Actually, they would likely expect her to still marry Damian, even though she was married to his brother. Oh, this stupid political mess... ... But what it came down to...

" What do you want? if pigs could fly, and horses could change colors on whim, what would you want of this world? How would you want to live it, and with whom?"

"You."

This first part of the statement was easy and without hesitation. After all, in their delirium, had Darryn not given her a bracelet and told her she would marry him? In that far away world of make-believe, hadn't he made it clear?

Then the man looked away.

"But I don't want you to kill Damian."

Oh, Ashleigh... There was something incredibly dark in this light man's tone. Wasn't that part of what had perplexed and fascinated and entertained you? He had vampire tendencies even though most of him wasn't that way. Remember bringing home a toy with him? Something in his tone conveyed a murderous intent. How much he must trust you to say it that way! He could be killed for something like that. Treason!

Ashleigh smiled then, nodding.

" I can give that much."

even if things grew further complicated, if she was wed to him, it would lock him to her in a way they could only separate with death... and to kill darryn would merely earn her the right to refuse all future husbands. So they wouldn't do that... but it also put him in a slightly challenging spot. His power by himself would be strong enough, unless she wed a clan leader ( Like his brother -_- ) in which case, his power would be bellow that husband's, and her own would be the deciding factor on whether bossy boy ( higher up) won against Darryn... of course that would never be a issue... but... Still, an uncomfortable spot.....

Darryn considered her, then holding out his hand.

"I know you cannot marry me."

In or out, and he understood her politics, and... well... he had been disillusioned. He had been trapped by painful reality.

"But until we lose our safety again, can I stay with you?"

He knew that the second time around at being caught wouldn't be so easy.

Ashleigh seemed to hide something at this, looking him over as she nodded and moved to him. In other words 'until we get caught and your put in that position all over again, I'll be with you.' . Perhaps he was not so different from the others. Just in the reverse mind set. Others wanted to only be seen with her, whilst he hid away, for fear of being seen/caught with her. it was not a nice thought to have, but she hid this from him, resting to his chest. So she was to wed Damian. Wonderfully peachy. Let's face it, that's what would happen in the end.

Well, he'd done a number all of her tiny hopes and reminded her she was now rightful ruler, and had zero hope of ever being happy for longer then the five seconds it took the body to process the height of an orgasm.... if she was ever granted that.

Darryn just looked at her, and he was quiet for a moment. Then, he moved to admit something.

"I haven't slept in two days."

That was hard on he who couldn't bear the sun. However, it was also a plea. Would she let him?

" Yes, please."

She purred, turning into the nearest room, letting him lay on the ever maintained bed, herself sitting down upon the edge of the bed, laying back upon the covered, across the foot of the bed as he was already resting now.

Darryn didn't even cover up. The man just lay down and all but passed out.

However, when he did wake, the first thing his eyes settled on was Ashleigh's form. It was strange to watch his expression. You could almost catch his thoughts. At first, his face lifted into that beaming smile so reminiscent of old times, but then it faded and he looked away, shaking his head at himself.

Asheligh enjoyed the smile, but at the other look, she looked down.

" I am sorry to cause that."

It was not an enjoyable look, and it was not comforting, or reassuring, or anything else. She should have left him to die in the snow. she should have done what she knew to be right, to keep to solitude. then she would not feel this way.... Wasn't it because of the hurt men could cause that she'd sworn off of such things? Now here she was....

slowly she moved on the bed, attempting to rid herself of such thoughts, climbing up to darryn, hesitant to touch. Would that upset him too? She might outrank in public and power, but in private, hidden away, he had all authority now. She had given up anything. she was hurting from the thoughts that assaulted her.

Darryn shook his head.

"You didn't cause it."

He watched her hand moved and reached out, actually taking her by the waist. He tugged just slightly, though not in a suggestive way.

" I should have just told you who I was before."

She purred gently, snuggling to his chest.

" You'd not have wanted a thing to do with me, and you'd be fine, and so would I."

She stated softly, that small glimpse of hurt showing right now.
