Bastian smiled at that. "What about you?" he asked thoughtfully. "You're brave, maybe even stupidly so but I find that kind of recklessness to be really attractive. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. You believe the same things I do and you're fighting for them, which is really commendable. You have an open mind to new experiences, which is important. You know what you want and you're willing to work or wait for it. You know pain, which I think is something that people over look. I mean, if someone just goes around life happy all the time they don't really know some of the more important lessons about it, don't you think? You know what it's like to be alone, which means you'll appreciate it when I'm around, and while I know you've been giving into your desires a bit, I get the feeling your the type of person who won't let me get away with my crap. You're excited about the world around you, which means there's a lot of stuff we can learn and do together without you getting annoyed or bored." He paused, sipping his tea again. "All that and you're gorgeous and don't know it. You could be ugly as dung but have those eyes and still be gorgeous so the rest of your amazing body is just visual bonus."
