Part of her waited for the punchline. The notion that her magic made her useful and necessary in a war. But none came. Alec said it simply. He said it like her life actually mattered and not the magic that coursed through her blood. Her heart sped up and the purring became a soft rumble in her chest. "I hope that I will be someday." Running from Sebastian didn't mean he'd give her up. Not that easily.
But the concern melted away like ice under the heat of the sun as Alec worked through her hair. Eyes closed and tipping her head into his hands, she shamelessly purred and moved into his touch. No one had ever been so gentle with her. Not since so long ago with her mother before the magic made itself known and her eyes changed. "Hm?" It took a moment to even realize what he was saying. "Oh.."
Re-focusing her mind, she gathered her scattered and melted thoughts. "Well.. I don't sense any magic on them. I am one of the best warlocks in the land... None could put a spell on them that I wouldn't notice. And if he marked them, I could destroy that by remaking them so any mark would be destroyed. But you're right... I don't want him to track us... or get anyone killed. Not over me."
Lifting golden eyes to him, she smiled at him with a warmth she'd never bestowed on anyone. "We'll figure it out... I'm all right with burying them. I have no emotional attachments to anything I own." Or to anything in life for that matter. Though... she had a feeling that was changing.
Melting further into his arms, she slowly wrapped her arms about him. "I know you will." Because Alec was honorable and kind. Beautifully noble like none she'd ever seen or met in her life. "When did you want to try to move on?"
