"Do... do you not care for that?" he whispered, as Isha slowly shook her head.
"No, I don't. Human, Knull, beast—it doesn't matter. I just want you, Ryuk," she said, feeling his warm hands slide around her waist, pulling her closer into his embrace.
A soft, contented smile formed on Isha's lips as she nestled deeper against him.
"Thank you, Isha..." he murmured into her ear. His hands began to pull away, but Isha caught them, gently keeping them wrapped around her.
"I want to tell you something, Ryuk," She whispered suddenly, and Ryuk turned toward her.
"What's that?"
"I never loved my beast form."
"It makes me feel like a burden by your side... most of the time. Especially when we're not in battle."
"I had to always remain in the pet space because most normal areas couldn't contain me. People would just stare in shock, and it would attract needless attention—something I knew you preferred to avoid."
