Those are always the thoughts that plague the minds of many. It's the thought of possibly putting them in danger and exposing weakness. Especially, if the individual has a soft place in their hearts.

Selen knew that she would feel the same way with those kinds of feelings. It's honestly hard to determine what would happen from one point to another. The good thing about having someone to care for is that they always made the days glow and sparkle. At least, that's how Selen thought about it. She wondered if Sephiroth's days were brightened by the presence of someone he cared about? Something she'd try her best to not ask too soon.

Ah, there's a smile. Selen hardly saw the man with a smile on his face. At least, one that seemed rather warm. She definitely felt happier knowing that brought a smile to his face. She returns the smile as well. It was strange the smile, but it didn't change that he seemed content.

"Of course. I will be relying on you to do so. I will do the same as well."

She chimed, though her protection was definitely different from Sephiroth's in many ways, "Difficult you say? In what way?" she mused, her smile remained but her tone seemed a little more concerned.
