A/N:
I know.
I'm hoorrible.
Buuut, I promise I AM working on my 'A Sunflower's Hidden Lotus' and I'm assuming it will be done and uploaded next weekend.
Now.. THIS is because I just wanted more "Lenore" on the internet.
And because Ragamuffin in his actual form as a father figure to Lenore is fucking win.
Enough said.
Ragamuffin realized it quickly.
Well, perhaps not quickly, but then again he HAD been living with little Lenore for several decades, conscious or not. Now, this inkling of realization began to seep in once he was able to return to his original form once and for all.
Said realization came when he noticed that even back to his fiercesome vampiric state that he stayed by her side. He didn't have to stay with her, it was his own choice.
He had noone to blame but himself for this, really.
He wanted to stay by her side.
He wanted to be with her.
However, he would never label himself as some pedophiliac freak like that disgusting Gosh bastard. So she'd been ten years old for a long time? That didn't give him the right to hit on her! He was a freak!
Ragamuffin just.. Wanted to make her smile.
Was that so wrong of him? He really didn't think so.
He wanted to protect her, and generally make her happy. They were both immortal, technically, so.. So what? He could do whatever he pleased.
He could kill thousands and feast upon them endlessly.
He could stay by her side and make her happy for eternity.
He could do both.
He could and would do whatever he pleased.
Just as long as he could see that smile of hers over and over and over.
That was all he truly needed.
