Egon slowly lifted his gaze to meet Anfrih, feeling his heart in his throat the more she spoke. He could pleasure her all night, kiss her wherever she asked him to, but to say... The witcher had been stifling his own emotions for so long that he wasn't sure what he felt at the moment. It could be love, but it could also just be lust. He was certain in the fact that he cared for her and he would never just abandon her, but he didn't want to unintentionally hurt her by saying it, if he wasn't entirely certain.
He lifted his hands to cup hers over his face, shaking his head and just shushing her quietly. "We don't have to say anything. I will be here through out the night and all day tomorrow. I will be here until you are ready to leave and then I will leave with you." He hoped that was enough to quiet her worries. He knew it wasn't what she wanted to hear, but it was all he could offer her and at the least, he hoped it at least helped her feel secure. Egon had no intentions of leaving her side any time soon, but he did feel his heart tremble knowing that she could think of him that way. It all went back to him blaming himself, for being such a hard person to read, for constantly keeping up his guard, even towards someone he cared about so much. It was a hard habit to break.
Pulling her hands away from his face, he pushed himself back in the bed and relaxed on his side, motioning for her to come lay in his arms. "Please, come." All he could do was beckon her and hope she would listen. Anfrih could either take his answer and find peace with it, or she could get hurt and upset at him.
