Re: Noctis & Belle
Belle listened to him, his voice and his words oddly soothing. The touch didn't hurt either and she found herself curling closer to him, her body nestling into his arms and her head resting on his shoulder. It was relaxing and she appreciated it greatly. Being alone right now would probably have been terrifying for all the lack of control, the lack of ability to actually do something. He was managing to keep her distracted and together though, which was more than she expected from this night.
"Mama was pure. Her family thought papa was beneath them, yes, but it was about money, not blood. What sense does it make, blood status? It is nothing visible, and no gauge of skill." It was just an outdated and pointless measure of things.
