“You mean you expect me to trust a man who won’t even reveal his face to me?” Kai sat on her chaise lounge, staring up at the hulking figure who was examining a bottle of wine. His mask turned, the eyes of it seeming to glow, “Well, you agreed to marry me without seeing my face.” He walked over, setting it down on a side table beside of her. She shifted and sat up, “Mpmh.. well, it was mostly to spite my family.. also, you uh- offer something different to the table than the others do.” The man cocked his head to the side at this, “Oh? What’s that?” She shrugged, “you offered me a chance at life away from.. this-“ She grumbled, “I don’t exactly like being.. pent up to a room all the time.” The man paused before laughing, “ I wouldn’t expect you to..” He hesitantly sat down on the lounge beside of her, huffing, “you’re not a canary in a cage.” She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, “Yeah whatever.. Hey uhm- you got a name or something? I should at least know my husbands name..” She grumbled irritably,

He froze before grumbling, almost like he was reluctant to give up such information. “Erix.” She paused before huffing out, “Erix? What an interesting name..” He seemed to stiffen up at his name rolling off the woman’s lips, shuffling awkwardly, “I uh.. thanks?”
