Stopping in his tracks, he looked back to his demon friend. He'd chosen him and that made him belong to Matthias. A smile formed on his lips that didn't quite reach his eyes, a sadness lingering there. While this was true and he knew that it was...it wouldn't change that he could give all of himself to Matthias and never have all of him in return.

"You did. And I am."

He'd embraced that and accepted it long ago. Stepping closer, he reached out to rest and hand over where Matthias' chest. There he rested it a moment, quiet and thoughtful. "I chose you but I can't make you mine. So I'll always be yours until you tire of me. Then I'll probably be lost to the wanderings of time like so many others you have claimed."

His hand lowered and he lifted his gaze to look into his eyes. "You can't love me and I know that. But you'll always have my love regardless of that. There will never be any other but you for me until time claims me finally."

Then he tilted his head a little. "May I ask why you are trying so hard to reassure me right now? It's not like you. You usually just leave me to my feelings and find your pleasures elsewhere."
