do you believe you could change me? the way i changed you.
The face of the feline before him was familiar yet a stranger, and Roman couldn't figure it out at first, what had happened had been such a long time ago and had been something that he had tried so hard to push away for it hurt too much to think about. Every hope that he had since his wife's death was something that seemed to fade anyway, so he dared not to do so, but when he was passing his gaze over the other to make sure her stature was something of hospitality rather than one of being hostile he noticed the familiar smile that Caroline had held on her face all those moons ago, and the necklace, and the smile that he had formed in a way to try to look friendly despite his other features seemed to crack a little. It wasn't until she finally said her name when it all shattered away and he seemed to try to take a step back, despite already sitting and sort of stumbling over himself ear and what was left of the other pinning to his head he simply shook it, swallowing down his words at first before finally opening his maw to speak.
"I- I don't think it was a good idea for me to come here." He would manage at last, water forming in his eyes though nothing threatening to fall, not just yet, "Your last name, it's familiar, and your necklace, and, and..." He trailed off, tail curling into his paws as if he was trying to make himself smaller. He felt like a little kid again, scared and afraid of being hurt again. He had completely missed the words Margaery had spoken, lost in his own head.
