THe sheer vulnerability she showed him astounded him. He did not know if it was a deep level of trust - for surely that was impossible? He was a slave, and a new one at that. Perhaps it was simply convenience, she needed to let it out, and here it was, standing wait for her. Whichever the answer, he knew he would be whatever she needed him to be. In this moment, he was not a slave, not a guard. Not a strange new play thing for her to toy with. He was her friend, and he offered her what comfort he was able.
The touch of another around him was still strange to him, but he ensured his body was relaxed and welcoming as she buried herself in his coat. Her tears soaked to his skin, but at least his furs would dry her eyes.
“Of course, my dear one.” He murmured softly, offering his shoulder as he lifted her gently back to her feet, and led her to her room. He paused at the doorway to plump up her pillows as quickly as he was able, and gently nudged her to lie among them. Then he curled around her, so she was surrounded by nothing but pillows and furs, and his warmth. He did not know why she was upset, the only thing that mattered in the moment was her comfort and wellbeing, his curiosity played no part.
