"Those barbarians..! Dragging me to a party like that.." Poe mumbles to his raccoon, Karl. He chirps, making Poe smile a bit. "Don't worry, Karl.. We'll be home soon.. Yess, we will.." He pokes Karl's nose, causing him to trill. "Ah.. I cant wait to get home and see you again, my dear.." He mumbles to himself, thinking about who?

You, of course.

Poe had kidnapped you months ago. You kept all your privileges, though. He trusts you. He trusts that you wont run. He smiles when he walks in the door, setting Karl down before going off to find you.

It wasn't long before he found you doing the dishes while a few things were cooking on the stove. He knows you love to cook, and so he always makes sure you have fresh ingredients to use and paper to write recipes on. He loves to watch you cook, he thinks it's adorable.

He comes up behind you, gently hugging you a bit. He smelled like pine, and old books, like usual. It was the smell you've grown accustomed to. To be honest, you liked the way he smells. You think its nice, and not too harsh. Some men drown themselves in cologne, so you're glad he doesnt.

Poe kisses your cheek, smiling. "Hello, my dear.. Did you miss me..? I missed you.." He rests his head on your shoulder.

He loves you. He just doesn't know how to show the true extent of it. But he wants to..

He wants to love you, and have you love him back.
