He held up a hand, his expression earnest.
"Darling, have I ever lied to you?"
He reached out and hugged her.
Javier Sinclair looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "This truly isn't dangerous! Celeste Grant, you need to have a little faith in me. For the Demon God, crossing the river of time is no great feat. Don't forget, not only am I a powerful fighter, but I've also mastered the Power of Time Law."
Celeste Grant cupped his face. "Not dangerous? If it's not dangerous, then why did you look like you were heading off to a battlefield? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were about to declare war on Empyria."
Javier Sinclair chuckled softly. His ears reddened slightly as he touched his lips. "Well, there is a reason. It's just... I can't bear to leave you."
Celeste Grant raised an eyebrow.
"You can't bear to leave me? Explain."
