Until I Devour You

Faite could have sworn she felt tensions rising, but she willed herself to calm down. She rather liked him, even if he was odd in a few ways and hadn't replied like she'd expected him to. A flat out 'no' probably would have sufficed, but it wasn't like she could change what had already happened. Instead she willed herself to relax. She didn't want to ruin things so she let her muscles relax. She hadn't meant to be so defensive about it, but she certainly hadn't meant to come off as weak or unable either.

Finally he nodded and seemed to, at least somewhat, accept her explanation. She stood awkwardly for a moment (which was a rather rare thing for her) and she let out the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. The bubbling tension seemed to fade away and in its place she felt at a loss for words. Thankfully Elias filled the silence and she nodded. She hadn't minded escorting him here and it had seemed like he was thirsty. She offered him a small smile to try and make up for her previous actions.

The subject change didn't last long. "In truth, it's not really your fault that I can't." She was a bit surprised by this. Was he going to admit why he wouldn't? It seemed like it. She listened patiently as he seemed to struggle for the words and when he admitted that he had a temper problem she finally understood (at least a little bit) as to why he wouldn't. Of course it made her all the more curious, but she shoved the questions out of her mind.

"Thank you for telling me why at least." She chuckled a little. "Though you could have just told me no. I would have been okay with that." She offered him a wry smile this time, this one more genuine than the last and it contained a hint of teasing. She wasn't really good with serious moods so it was her way of trying to lighten things up again. "How are you liking it here so far?" She said, switching up the subject.
