What he saw wasn't anger or resentment. It was just surprise and after the minutes ticked by it was acceptance on adorned on her face. He let his arms hang at his sides as she wrapped hers around him. There was no overt reaction, he just let it happen. He didn't know quite how to react to the sudden show of affection and the tears that formed to tell her emotions.
Once she opened her mouth to speak, the wind mage smiled at her now broken silence. His eyes still radiating the same holy light. He cast away the glow as she confessed her love for him and he slowly brought one arm up around her to hug her in return.
"Its good to hear you again," he said politely. "Full of emotion as ever. Thanks for standing with me. I'm not sure where my road is going anymore." He felt part of her acceptance of his new form was in the fact that it was forced upon him. But the more he used it the more he liked the power. The more he began to see it as a useful tool to grow stronger.
The moment shifted as Leeann boldly pressed her lips against Kazimir's cheek. The wind mage's mouth opened in surprise. "Oh..uhm," he stammered out. He couldn't help but think about the last person that had ever done that to him. The memory of the last day he spent there. Part of his past he still couldn't let go. A reason that only motivated him to grow in power even more.
His body stiffened from the kiss but he quickly dispelled the tightened muscles and relaxed. It was jolting and unexpected but part of him found it more soothing and comforting than he would have thought. He Took it much easier than he had in the past and simply hugged her back with a smile. "Always full of surprises too, it seems."
"I was worried how you would have taken it. Looks like for the first time, I was overthinking things," he gave a small sigh before he continued, "It was from a seraphim, he has plans for me but I don't yet know what it is."
