Her eyes reveal everything. Her fear, her sincerity, her absolute terror that is so pure, it could almost be called righteous. She pays no attention to the April rain that still clings to winter's chill. Her hair hangs limply in her face and she sniffles once before speaking again. "Please. Just... whatever you want... please..."
He slowly lets a smile come to his face. She is terrified of either of the two replies he could give her. Not that he'd dream of rejecting what she has offered or refusing her request. A rule had been broken in the marking of her soul. She had been too young. "I can ask for quite a bit, you're aware of that, aren't you?"
"Very aware." She swallows as he walks towards her and reaches a hand out, curiously dry in this downpour.
He pushes her drenched hair away from her face and smiles. "Then my answer to your request, my girl - is yes." With that, he placed both hands on her face and gently pressed his lips to hers. He knew they would be soft, her kiss warm as she slanted her mouth open to accept him. He almost laughed in delight when he caught the taste of chocolate in her mouth. Godiva Truffles. She had eaten what she thought would be her last meal.
Gabriel always did like a girl with a taste for fine confections. He withdrew and then pressed a second kiss to her forehead. "Let's get you some place dry, Bella."
She managed a very weak smile - the Trickster's kiss has left her almost breathless. "Thank you." Is all she can think to say, the memory of the kiss still lingering on her lips.
