"Why? Because when you really care for someone, nothing matters but their love, and who they are."

Riyan stared at him in complete surprise. He had said that word. Practically stated his feelings. She shivered in his arms, staring at his chest again. How could she answer? She knew her feelings. But still...... there would be so many barriers in their way. They couldn't stay by the river forever.

He looked at her, and sighed. Maybe she doesn't feel the same... he thought.

She bit her lip, closed her eyes, and took that leap of faith. "I love you too," she said quietly. She was trembling now, scared that he had just been teasing her and was now going to laugh in her face. She felt no pull, however, to take back those precious words.

He smiled, and kissed her lightly. "I glad you feel the same as I do."

She stared at him, still scared that it was all a horrid joke. Slowly, though, she wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight. She stared at his chest again as tears welled up in her eyes, simply from the emotional charge of it, and the feeling of fear that he would betray her. She tried not to let any fall, but a single tear traced a path down her face. She didn't move to wipe it off, hoping it would go unnoticed.

Of course, it didn't. Cal wiped the tear away,"Why the tears my love?"

She just shook her head, burrowing her face into the hollow where neck meets shoulder. She then started to draw away. No man would comfort a woman. None that she knew, at least. And besides, comforting was easier in feline form. She couldn't ask him to comfort her when they were like this. All these thoughts raced through her mind as she began to force the tears back, still staring at something behind him in order to not look at him.

Though she may not have wanted him to, he began to comfort her. Stroking her hair lightly, and wipping around tears that managed to cascade down her cheeks.

She couldn't help it. Sobbing into his shoulder, she reviewed just how had things had become. Every step at home was measured, every action reviewed from every viewpoint to make sure nothing was given away. And now, on top of that, she worried about him, wondering what would happen now. They had only met a few days ago. What if he came to regret his words?
As a result of these thoughts, she held him tighter, allowing no chance for him to even more.

((okay that last part kinda confused me...))
He didn't let go, and let her cry. Cal didn't know what to do really.

((Which part? Quote the beginning of it and I'll try to explain))
She slowly began to calm, but did not let him go. She nuzzled against him again, and her hold on him loosened a bit, but she made no movement to scoot back. After a while, she finally mustered the courage to ask the question plauging her mind. "Do you..... really mean it? This isn't just some...... some horrid joke for you and your friends to laugh at, how you conned a Riddle?"

Cal frowned,"Why would I be joking. I love you, Riyan. I don't care if you're a Riddle or not. It's not the name, apperance, or house that counts, it's who the person is. This is no joke, I meant what I said."

((It's supposed to be "even moVe" sorry))
She nuzzled him again, almost as if they were felines once more. "I'm glad. And thank you."

((ah.. okay..))
Cal smiled, and kissed her forehead.
