He allowed her to take away his hat and bandana, and just run her fingers through his hair. That felt nice at least, the way just the most simple of touches from her could make his heart beat faster than normal. He loved her, he really did- and the thought of losing her was just too much. He kept his eyes closed as he continued to speak to her.

"You forget that I'm stronger than you. And just think about it... I'm just like a dog, if I lost my master, I'd end up just waiting by the door for you to come back home. Just think of how heartbroken I would be if you never came back to me."

It was a pretty accurate thing to say, since he really wouldn't know what to do with himself if she was gone. They had made a pact, and if his master died- he would have to go back to the witches from the senate. And when that happened, then that would mean they would just torment him for leaving them in the first place.
