Going Out Tonight, She Changes Into Something Red

He couldn't quite describe how relieved he was to see Aranea up and walking around again. It felt like she didn't quite understand how dire her position had been when he found her, but he wouldn't press the matter either. There was also the distinct possibility that he was over reacting, but he hadn't seen anyone in as bloodied of a state as she was... at least not since his father was killed. He pushed that thought aside quickly as he let her into his room and gently closed the door behind them. It was very, very late at night at this point and he wanted to make it clear to the outside world that he didn't want to be disturbed until they were both done resting. There was also the added worry of how his children - or at the very least Ezra - would react if he saw Aranea here, but he couldn't leave her alone. Not after how this night had gone.

As he made his way over to the bed, moving with only a very slight limp thanks to the pain relieving herbs and ointments he had been given, he noticed how Aranea was fidgeting. Even though he was grateful that she had accepted his offer, he could understand why it was uncomfortable. He smiled softly and hoisted himself up onto the bed, grunting quietly as his aching muscles and ribs protested even that small movement. The bed was made up of an old mattress filled with feathers that was held a couple of feet off the ground by a wooden frame and covered up with several furs that he had laid across it. There was also a few thread worn pillows along the side that met up with the wall.

He settled onto his left side with a relieved sigh. There was a very real moment where he hadn't been sure if either of them would make it back here. Her half frozen on a ledge with so much blood lost and him attacked by a monstrous wolf that could have easily killed him if he hadn't been a more skilled fighter. It really helped to put things into perspective for him and as he turned his silver gaze toward Aranea he found himself looking at her differently as well. "Please join me?" he asked softly as he reclined his head into one of the pillows.
