You're being rescued, please to not resist

With the guarded, frightened stance she still held he really wasn't certain what her response would be to his offer. If she had denied it and left or even just turned to run off without a word he wouldn't have been surprised or even upset. He couldn't fathom what was going through her head in that moment and it bothered him to know that she was ever put into a life that could have made her this way. When she did agree to come with him, a smile pulled across his lips, relief easily seen in his emerald eyes. At the very least he knew that he would be taking her somewhere safe where she could recuperate and relax. Perhaps in time he could build her trust and make a friend of this small, galaxy marked woman, but even if she only stayed long enough to build up her strength then he would be happy that he could help her before she went on her way.

"Wonderful. I'm really glad. Come on then, lets get you home. It's not a terrible walk to get back, but it'll probably be dark by the time we get there." He gave her another encouraging smile before turning toward the direction that would lead them back to the hot springs where her new home would be waiting. "I've been putting some work into the spare bedroom, but there's still a bit of work to be done," he mentioned, glancing back over his shoulder at him. "I apologize that it's still a bit of a work in progress. But if there's anything you'd like changed about it then there's still plenty of room for personalization!" He spent the walk back home mentioning little things about their den, the hot springs, Void, their families... Anything that might help her get more familiar with him and this life that he was bringing her into. Even if she only ever stayed with them for a short time, he still hoped he could help her at least feel comfortable with them.

Part of him wondered if she might eventually be willing to be a surrogate for them with enough time and trust. Secretly he hoped so only because he knew he wouldn't be able to put himself through buying another slave and he wasn't sure how to go about finding a woman willing to do such a thing otherwise. Maybe he would have to break down and ask Chimera or Siren if they could borrow one of their slaves for the task. He held no expectations for Rava though. For now he just wanted to get her home and get her a real meal - not just some piece of jerky he had packed for travel.
