"If it's about me, then don't be too concerned." Cain leaned closer to her and lifted her chin. "My blood may drain, and my power may become weaker but soon it will all return," His touch was gentle, tracing the stains of her warm tears. He wiped them away; each stroke was like a gentle promise that she couldn't bear to listen.

"Losing blood and exhausting one's power is normal and temporary, Cara," he murmured, his voice was like a fragile thread woven through the shadows. 

"I would rather lose them to save you than to lose you permanently… forever." His gaze, though hidden in the inky veil of darkness, held a fierce tenderness. Akin to a silent promise etched into the nightshade of the crevice.
