You sat quietly, your thoughts spiraling into a sea of insecurity. Rafayel, being vibrant and lively, noticed the shift in your demeanor. He couldn't ignore the tension that hung in the air. With a playful smirk, he approached you, wrapping his arms around you from behind.

"Ah, my lovely bodyguard turned lover," Rafayel chimed, his cheeky tone cutting through the silence. "Why so quiet? Did a grumpy sea creature steal your voice?”

As he held you, he sensed the unease, but he decided to address it with his usual charm.

"Come on, spill the secrets, darling. Rafayel, your charming artist and cuddler extraordinaire, is here to chase those worries away."

His playful tone was accompanied by a warm embrace, an attempt to dispel the shadows clouding your mind.
