You go so quietly once you've seen the end

She would eat, though hesitantly at first she had eventually begun to dig into the hare. Though she had not finished, she had thanked him and backed away. Staring at him. She seemed to always be on edge, and curiosity kept drawing him forth. Why was she so jumpy? Something bad had happened for sure, though what it was he couldn't tell. His mind, however, would begin to think the worse. And by the way she kept reacting in the short time he had been here, he began to guess what tragedy had befallen her. His heart would tighten, who would do such a thing? Instinctively, he wanted to move forth and comfort her. But he knew it would be a wrong move right now, for it would cause her to flee or fight him. And he didn't want neither to happen. He would respond to her finally, with a courteous dip of his head. Perhaps he could offer her something, protection at least, and gain her trust. He was not one to harm unless he or someone threatened his family and those he cared about. This one he felt the urge to protect, to defend and to heal. He felt the surge of anger rising in his chest towards the one who dared hurt her. They would not get by him unscathed should he ever cross paths with the monster who committed the crime he figured it had been. "Miss Emer...would you like to come back with me to Valhalla? I can treat your wounds, and you'll be safe there. I offer my protection, and if you accept, I'll keep you safe." It was an indirect offer, she was scared, and he could see it. He wondered if she'd think it strange, for a stranger to offer protection. Though protection from what? He would leave that part out. Hopefully she would tell him, though he didn't expect right away. He rose, wanting to get near her though fought the urge to do so. He would wait for her to trust him a little more to allow him to look her over. Though he was no healer, he knew enough to treat minor wounds. He would make a note to ask Erani to teach him a few things, it was useful knowledge to have after all. Blue eyes watched her, hoping she would accept. After all, hadn't he shown just a little that he would not harm her? "Do you have family around here?" He would inquire gently, wondering if small talk would relax her, instill a little bit of trust. Words and actions were all he had, after all. Talk like this |
