"TALKING" || "TELEPATHY"

Vaas's arrival to the door caused a mixed bag of emotions within Rhine to rise up, nearly choking the legate on the spot. It felt as though his heart was soaring and dropping at the same time, and briefly, he even considered running. However, he knew what he wanted... what he needed to do. So, after taking a deep breath inwards, he smiled and nodded, head still vaguely spinning as he stepped inside the towering warehouse. The necklace was still dangling from his mouth, preventing him from just blurting out whatever misguided thoughts decided to launch their way to the surface. Once they were safely inside, and the wind was no longer whipping at his fur, the serval leaned down to place the necklace carefully on the floor. He chuckled upon hearing Vaas, shaking his head at the tiger before he was able to speak clearly, "No, I certainly don't want that... it was awful enough the first time. I'm very glad to be free of it nowadays." It seemed as though he was finally safe from his former sickness, and he had been being particularly careful not to catch anything once again. He didn't want to leave his group without a leader again, if only for a day.

For a moment, the male just sat there, clearly struggling to get across the thoughts that were raging in his mind. However, he knew he couldn't stay silent forever. After all, he had said that he had come to talk about something. Taking in a deep breath, he closed his dark eyes briefly, stabilizing himself before he spoke once more, "I brought the necklace for you. I've been making it for a while... figured you would appreciate it, as a little gift for all you've done. The charms are made out of bone." Well, that was a start, but it was hardly the main event, was it? Swallowing thickly, the tall feline glanced to the side before he continued, "I must look like an idiot, stumbling over my words like this. I just... I came to talk to you, about... us. I've felt like maybe there was something here for a while, but before now... I just didn't have the guts to bring it up. I thought maybe if I came now, and talked to you about it.... maybe we could... figure things out?" It was hardly the most graceful confession – hardly a proper confession at all – but hopefully Vaas would get what he was trying to say.
