"Thank you so much for helping her, bro." Blood Wraith stammered before sneaking another glance at his sister.
The sight of her wrapped securely in Damon's robe only deepened his delusions. Ah, this is fate. She resisted every man in the world, but she finally found someone worthy. And it's big bro, no less!
Damon ignored the weird look on his face and set Phoenix down against a boulder near the mine's entrance. He adjusted the robe around her once more, ensuring her exposed skin was covered.
For a fleeting second, he caught the vulnerable side of her face, calm, almost fragile without the fire in her eyes and she looked even more beautiful. He straightened, turning to Blood Wraith.
"She'll be out for a while. Guard her properly."
