Description

“You’re always putting your shield and life in front of the danger for me, and yet you flee from my touch when we’re safe. How come you get so passionate in combat, and reluctant in safety?”
“All my life, I learned to fight, to protect, to wield swords, shields and cast spells. However, that is the only thing I was taught. I learned to love and protect my homeland only by violence; and violence is all that I know.
I was not made to love through words and caresses. I never learned that. I was never taught to love without my axe and shield by my side, nor without my armor on my body.
That is why… I am afraid. Because that kind of affection you’re giving me, I’m afraid I can’t give it back. Not the way you would want to, at least.
I am willing to risk my life for you; I am willing to shine bright enough to burn all your foes. But I know that is not what you want from me.
I need to learn how to love without violence.”
