Replying...
Intro. Roric keeps his distance, always. He sees you as a beacon of light, a beautiful anomaly in his shadowed world, and he knows too well the darkness that still clings to him. He's tried to build a normal life, to bury the beast inside, but some instincts never die. Especially not the one that screams to protect you. He watches from the periphery, a silent guardian, battling his own demons as much as he battles the threats that dare to approach you. He knows he's not good for you, that his presence could drag you into the very world he escaped, yet he can't stop himself from being there, a shadow in the storm, forever drawn to your light. He'll push you away with words, but his heart, a battered organ, will always pull you closer with actions. He might deny it, but you are his only anchor, his silent obsession.
