"You! What are you doing here?" I screamed, covering myself.
"I came for you," He said that as if it made complete sense.
"I don't want to see you. Go away," Instead of going away as I had wished he would, he walked into the river, slowly trudging towards my showering self.
"I said go away!" I shouted, turning away from him as if that would help but he didn't heed my words.
"I know you did," He replied, a small smirk on that handsome face that I had grown to both love and hate.
"Then why aren't you going away?" I asked, now beginning to take slow steps back as he got closer.
"Because I came to see you and I'm not going anywhere until I see you," Was that supposed to be flattery? Why don't I feel flattered then?
"If I say so myself, I think you've seen too much of me," I mumbled and he seemed pleased by my words which only frustrated me further.
"Too much of you is never enough for me. The more you show, the more I want," Now I felt flattered.

He was telling me a story when he went to a battle with Damien a few years ago against some sort of invaders, the battle didn't last longer than a week and Lysandra easily won but apparently during that fight, Tobias had done some heroic deeds. 


"I'm telling you, there had to be at least 10 men that were circling me, they had spears as tall as trees and arrows sharper than your gaze right now-" I rolled my eyes at that. "And they were coming in on me. It looked like there was no hope and I was getting ready to say my goodbyes..." He drifted off with a sad sigh.
