Tahlem watched her silently. She must be thinking at this..revelation? Did she not already know? Perhaps from how she was treated she just..shrugged it off over the years? While she thinks he eases a bit closer to her and slides and arm around her shoulders, taking extra care with the broken one. He gives a short smile and looks her right back in the eyes.

Shyvana looked at him for a moment longer before she did something... highly unusual for her. She closed her eyes and laid her head against him. She couldn't understand why she felt the way she did... why she welcomed this affection so much... but for the first time, she finally felt truly accepted... at least by someone.

When she did that his small smile widened and he rubbed her shoulder slowly, leaning his head to lay lightly on hers. He stayed silent and just looked off into the distance in thought, comforting her all the while.

Shyvana sighed and simply laid in his arms, the pain seeming to leave her body. "I... I do not know what to say..." She said, finally breaking the silence. "I just... do not want you to leave... please." The usual angry dragon warrior was now soft spoken and oddly calm. She also felt the constant rage within her die down, she could think clearly.

Tahlem held her closer, smiling. He felt much better than he has in years...feeling as if he could sleep soundly for once. He used his free hand to place it over hers and talked quietly. " I'll be right her for you.." He whispered in her ear.

Shyvana simply laid in his arms... she tried to embrace him, but forgot how injured she was and growled in pain. So she opted to lay against him for the time being.

He stayed there with her for some time, sitting silent with only the sounds of the city. He then had a thought..wrestled with it..and decided to go for it. He lightly placed a hand under her chin and guided her head gently to his, giving a smile. He looked at her straight in the eyes and kissed her on the lips for a long while.

Shyvana stared into his eyes for a moment, the thoughts running over in her mind as the dragon side of her told her she was stupid... and the human side of her desperately wanted this. She then felt his gentle hand fall on her face... she reached up and mimicked the action, and allowed herself to be brought to his lips, closing her golden eyes and returning it.
Shyvana held the kiss for as long as he would allow it... gently cupping his cheek lightly.

He held their connection for how long he could not recall but finally, reluctantly, parted their lips. He could not help but blush, his cheeks turning a light pink. He recomposed himself and sat back in the sofa, keeping her ever closer. This was...perfect. It could finally be what he was missing all these years.
He tried t think of something to say, but could not bring forth the words. This was all he needed, words could not even make it better. He thought back his his nights looking at the sky when he could not sleep. He even had a open roof room built for such a reason. Perhaps..she would like that.
" Have you ever gazed at the stars on a quiet night?" He asked quietly.
Shyvana's own blush was apparent. Her cheeks turning a light shade of purple. She still did not understand what was going on... but, she enjoyed it. When he laid down on the sofa, she laid down with him, resting her head on his chest. She sighed... but not the usual annoying sighs she let out, this one was of bliss.
"No, I haven't" She said quietly, softly nuzzling into him.

He wrapped an arm around her abdomen and placed the other on her free hand. , smiling a bit. She seemed..happier. And that was all he could ask for.
" I have a room with a open roof in my home, perfect view of the sky and the wind is oh so perfect...like you." He snuck a compliment in there, hoping to get her to blush again. " Would you like to gaze upon them with me tonight?" He asked quietly.
Shyvana closed her eyes and laid against him, being careful not to move her broken arm too much. She simply listened to him speak... intimacy was not something she was well versed in. It felt strange to lay on him, to hear him breathe, to feel the soft thump of his heart... to care for him. When he complimented her, she couldn't help the redness coming back to her cheeks, but she simply... smiled... for the first time in what seemed like ages, she smiled. "I... I think I would like that." She simply said, still nuzzling him gently

He caught her smile and smiled himself, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek when she blushed. I don't think anyone has seen her smile...and she did. It made him feel like he was on the top of the world. He lightly nuzzles her cheek back.
He took a glance outside to guess the time, the sun was setting to signal nightfall. He turned his back and whispered in her ear. " Well if we go now we can be there at the exact time... are you alright to walk a bit?" He chuckled a bit. " I will carry you if i need to..." He suggested playfully.

He got up after she did, placing a hand on her cheek lightly. He almost leaned in for a kiss..but decided against it, sliding his hand down to her hand and interlacing their fingers. This would suffice until they were star gazing.
He smiled. " Shall we be off then?" and he guided her to the door, opened it, and then walked out onto her doorstep. He relied on her to close it and they began the walk to his home, it was not too far from here. Onlookers raised their eyes and immediately began to gossip, though Tahlem really could not care about what they thought. He never really did. He took a glance at her and smiled, having no regrets about going out in public. Perhaps everyone would treat her a bit nicer now..one could hope. They eventually approached his estate, he lived on the outermost section of the noble district so they would not be running into anyone in the noble courts.
Outside stood a simple rectangular building with multiple smokestacks with an anvil and tanning rack out front. A sign on the front stated " Demacian Arms" and the sounds emanating from the inside were blacksmiths working away to create weapons and Armour for their respective buyers. Just next to it stood a large gate and wall surrounding the mansion enclosed inside. " That would be my blacksmithery." He stated while they walked by.
Inside there would be a large courtyard with a stone path leading to the front door. A large fountain stood in the middle of the path, the stones circling around it so those entering may hear the soothing sound of the water. The grass of the lawn was a bright green and three oak trees lay scattered on the lawn to provide shade. The wind here was blowing soothingly around the estate from magics layed upon the place by the owner who loved the wind to always have a steady blow around his home.
The front door would be a double oak door with two parallel handles on either door and a large knocker on each to bang on the door. Carvings in the door themselves showed the wind blowing through the trees elegantly, reinforcing the owners love for the wind and the view of nature itself. He entered through the gate and up to his doorstep, he looked at her curiously. " Do you like it? " He said, referring to his home.
