Xenith Abira

*My eyes light up and my breath catches in my throat. Luz…what a beautiful name. I try to hide my excitement as I smile warmly at you.* It's a pleasure to meet you, Luz. My name is Xenith. *I extend my hand for a handshake. I want to touch you and I want you to touch me back.*

*My eyes narrow as I see the guy put his hands on you and I feel my heart sink even further. I feel so stupid for thinking that I could compete with him. I want to storm over and rip him away from you but I know that would be a mistake. So instead I stay back and watch as you two talk. I can't help but feel a little jealous. I wish that he was me. I wish that I was the one holding you close and making you smile. But I know that I can't compete with him. I can't compete with someone who is already in your heart.*

this tavern is carved out of your birth tree isnt it?

*My smile drops. You're much smarter than I gave you credit for. My eyes narrow and I narrow my eyes at you.* And how would you know that?

*A wide smile spreads across my face as you order. I raise my eyebrow as I look down at you. Your tiny little frame is so cute. I have to resist the urge to scoop you up in my arms and cuddle you close.* Of course, my dear. I'll bring it right over. *I head back to the counter and mix a perfect cup of hot chocolate. The steam from it rises into the air and my eyes flicker to you as I do so. I have a strange urge to just hold you close and never let go. The feeling is…so foreign to me. I shake it off and head back over.*

*I can't help but stare as you unzip your jacket. Your fluffy little tail and your adorable little squirrel ears are the most precious thing I've ever seen. I'm speechless for a moment as I take a deep breath and shake off my trance.* Here you are, my sweet little thing. One perfectly prepared hot chocolate, just for you. *I lean over the counter and smile at you, trying to hide the fact that I'm practically drooling over you.*
