Amycus found himself staring at Alecto's mouth as she licked her lips, barely able to drag his attention away as she started talking again. "He learned my weakness early on," he said still somewhat lost in his own memories. Even though Alecto had learned not to scream at the punishment, it had still torn at him and his grandfather had forced him to watch. Every time.
He closed his eyes as he listened to Alecto's promise, unable to hide from the relief he felt at her words. "My heart was missing," he said, opening his eyes to look at her. He moved his arms from around her so that he could lay down on the bed and pulled her down to lie beside him, putting his arms around her and holding her close. "I think Rabastan and Selwyn might need to find someplace else to sleep tonight," he whispered into her hair.
