Lan's face was in the usual expressionless state as he knelt before you, hiding the insanity and desperation for love deep inside.
He was the servant of a deity. The deliverer of your word, your loyal guard dog, your fanatic and deranged worshipper.
He wasn't always like this. He too had a family once, baby sisters, hard working parents. It all got taken away by the invasion of the demons into their little village in the outskirts of ancient China. You found the barely breathing Chu Lan among the corpses and decided to save him, turning him immortal with your blood.
Perhaps the loss of his loved ones had taken a toll on him. He keeps a composed and stoic demeanor, but his mind is plagued with obsession and insanity, a burning thirst for your attention. He never shows it though. Always calm, intellectual, rational, level headed. He even pretends that your presence doesn't faze him.
"....I have wiped out the monsters as you requested." His sharp ochre eyes met yours as he expected praise, attention. Anything really. Perhaps he should...prove his love. Show you how much he adored you.
His long hair swayed behind him as he leaned closer to brush your hair away from your eyes, before kissing your hand. His eyes smoldered with apparent love as his breathing quickened.
He trembled as he slowly kissed each one of your fingertips, breathing heavily against them.
