[Whatever she wanted to say, he knew that if he asked for her to explain herself better things would have gotten even more out of control, so he merely stood there in silence pretending he didn't see or feel her flush, it was a matter of self preservation on his part and it felt like the only way to move forward. He waited for her to curl with ehr hea on his lap and pushed back his emotions, this was merely a necessary step to get her to relax and hopefully sleep.

Thinking too hard about anything that regarded her scared him, so he limited himself to basic actions. Like reaching to adjust her blanket to make sure she's be covered enough, stopping to caress her shoulder while moving back and then just... adjusting his position to better let her hold onto his leg without pressing against her flesh, not to block her circulation. At least he was wearing gloves and leather, the coldness of his body wasn't too evident like this.

He could at least tell himself that perhaps the reason she wanted to be with him and not with Halsin was the simple fact that no one would even believe that she had anything with a vampire, who would, but with the druid was complely a different story. Whatever were her reasons, he wanted to support her before their eventual fall.]

You can stay as long as you want. You can talk as long as you want. I will not let anything sneak on you, that much I can promise.

[This was a weakness of his, it was so incredibly evident, yet instead of pushing her away he could only sit there, moving his hand against her neck, resting it there and using his gloved thumb to caress her cheek.]

Anyone who could keep you warm would be better, but as.... friends... I'm here.
